This book focuses on the view that the hymns we sing in church should be about bringing honor to the Lord and not bringing attention to ourselves. The book contains 12 different essays relating to different subjects regarding music in the church. One essay titled The Worship Issue Throughout the Ages expounds on how worship music has changed over the centuries. It explains, using scripture to back up what is stated, that music is about honoring the Lord and not about how it makes us feel. The author shows how throughout history music has changed to meet the needs of the singers instead of keeping the focus on the Savior. In an essay titled Does Secular Music Have a Place in Worship Services, the author explains that we should not mix the world’s music and rhythms with music that is to honor the One who made us. He states that we are to be separate from the world and its views and our music should be another way we express that separation. Although this can be a controversial subject, the author does an excellent job of explaining his view of the topic without coming across as arrogant or condescending. This is not a book you can read quickly but if you do take the time to delve into the subject matter you will enjoy the insights of this well educated author. Publisher: Kings Crown
