Summary: A must read for everyone in the music ministry
Review: This book has totally turned my life around as far as my involvement in the music ministry of our church. Carol Cymbala tells us the true secrets behind the success of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. Those include prayer and dedication to the cause of ministering to people through music. This book will shake you to realize that music in the church is not for entertainment or self-gratification, but to help draw people to Jesus as we lift Him up in praise and worship. I will never step to our platform to minister through song and think differently. We are asking all of our choir members to read and discuss this book.

Summary: Inspires and Motivates!
Review: This book is part of a multi-media project in that it contains a music CD bearing the same title. After reading the book, the music is even more meaningful because it covers the background of the person who wrote the lyrics. Carol Cymbala, a pastor's wife who leads the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, describes the challenges she faced and how they were overcome through faith in God. The focus of her book is not her as hero, but on God as deliverer. In fact, the lyrics to the title song, emphasize that theme, that in spite of the wavering of the individual, "He's been faithful." It's a song and book of gratitude to God for his faithfulness. She gives the history of the early days of the congregation. She talks about how God added to the church. This is a testimony that is encouraging to other Christians in that it shows how God worked in one context, New York City, and causes one to realize what He did for others, He is willing to do for them. There are various individual stories contained in this work, i.e., different members of the choir have their testimonies featured throughout the book.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was written by Carol Cymbala, wife of Jim Cymbala, pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle. Carol directs the well-known Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. This choir itself is an amazing testimony to God's love the faithfulness.

In this book, Carol Cymbala gives examples from her life that show God's faithfulness. It is very inspiring.

Carol was/is very shy and with the Lord's help, but overcame that and was able to fulfill God's purposes for her life. A few of the stories were also told by Jim in Fresh Wind Fresh Fire, but it's interesting hearing it from another person.

Carol makes herself vulnerable and talks about her own failings and disappointments. Her honesty is refreshing and makes it easier to identify with her.

In this book, you will about what happens when the people of God fully surrender their lives to Jesus.

A 6-song audio CD is included inside the back cover of the new books - the title song "He's Been Faithful" really brings this book to life.

Read this book soon - it will most likely change you view of how God might be working in your life!
