Dobson at his best. Every man should read this book – preferably before getting married!

Not a book for beginners, but for those involved in music and worship in the church this is a fascinating book. It is presented as a text book for a course of study, and would work well in a group setting, but also can be read through a chapter at a time. A book that opens out music and ministry in a way that broadens horizons beyond charismatic church worship.

In Bryn's own words "God is looking for a people aware they are born for such a time as this... we know that inside the grace of God he has chosen us in particular to be his voice and testimony in the closing of an age."
An encouraging read that challenges what we call church and church community.
