Opis

We're missing out on hearing one another s songs, on worship in our daily lives, on the dance of David, on passion in our praise, on fellowship with Christians who disagree, on sharing testimony of God s work in our assemblies, on understanding how to disagree, and more. In the Churches of Christ, our preoccupation with how we sing praise leads us to look at worship passages as though they had no deeper purpose than to weigh in on our debate over instruments and solos. More than that, our understanding has also narrowed our circle of fellowship. We hunger for both fuller worship and broader unity. Our tradition is holding us captive. This book asserts that we can have what we ve been missing. Your Missing More Than Music is a masterpiece . As the editor and first publisher of Documents on Instrumental Music by Tom Burgess, I find your insights compelling. Only a person who has lived with the a cappella movement for some years could possibly write such a treatise. - Charles Dailey Really, really good stuff ... I admire your scholarship and style. - Victor Knowles, President, Peace on Earth Ministries I think it will be the defining treatment of the subject . - Dr. Milton Jones Readable. Sensible. Biblical. - Texas Scholarly, yet written in simple terms that anyone could understand. I have read numerous books on the topic. If I could recommend only one, it would be Missing More than Music. - Oregon I appreciate your attitude. That is one of the many refreshing things about your book Your tone has been very cordial, to say the least. - Georgia Your study was helpful to me, and, indirectly, it was helpful to the elders and the congregation, because it informed what I taught them. - Oklahoma
