Summary: Theological and Practical Reflections on the Music Ministry
Review: Church musicians are not entertainers, but ministers of worship. This book affords perspective and focus to the varied aspects of this ministry of leading people in worship through song. Practical issues that confront the musician are here discussed; some of them an experienced musician would already know, some would give new insights and some others would provide a fresher approach. The musician as a leader of worship has an enormous responsibility of leading the worshippers in prayer, which he shares with the other ministers. The different aspects of working with the pastor and possible difficulties are also discussed. If all the ministers kept in mind the fundamental principle that they work together for the people of God, tensions could be avoided. The contents of the book are relevant for anyone who is working at the act of worship in our churches including pastors, choir directors, organists, cantors, choir members etc. The scope of this book goes beyond any particular denomination. Any minister of a Christian church would find this book relevant, useful and interesting. The book has an Introduction by Martin E Marty and a list of books recommended for a musician's library.

Summary: Very Interesting
Review: I feel that this book should be on the shelf of every musician in America. It speaks on very modern topics. This book should be advertised all over the world.
