Singing and Making Music

Focusing on narratives and song texts from the Old Testament, Douglas O'Donnell has written a persuasive commentary on the use of hymns in the worshipping congregation. �His survey through scripture and hymnody is expansive, and includes samples of timeless hymns as well as newly-composed praise choruses that capture the vibrancy of congregational song. �In this thoughtful volume, we find that hymns are paramount in the Christian church both as a vehicle to express praise to God, and a means to remind the congregation of God's relevance in human history. �

God's Lyrics

Churches and musicians seeking to follow biblical principles for worship will find this booklet not only informative, but encouraging and extremely practical.  Worship music, though intended to unify the congregation in praise, is often the topic of passionate discussion if not divisiveness in the church. This brief volume presents thoughtful insight and revisits music throughout church history, with the goals of glorifying God and edifying the congregation through praise, prayer and proclamation.  It seeks to unite Christians in the pursuit of their highest calling - worshiping God.
