Sing:
How Worship Transforms Your Life, Family, and Church (2017, B&H
Publishing) by Keith and Kristyn Getty offers some great answers to the
questions surrounding why we sing in church. In my case it’s more a matter of
making a joyful noise to the Lord rather than anything that vaguely resembles
song, but God calls us to give it our best shot, and who am I to argue with God?
My
voice may not entertain anyone, it might not invite people into a time of
reverent worship, but theologically speaking, taking our cues from the Bible, God's
people should sing, and we should sing wholeheartedly. We should sing in
church, and in our homes, alone, with our family, and yes, even in public, when
the public is the congregation at your local church. Singing is a part of
worship, and as God's children we should be all about worshiping Him.
The Getty’s
explain why we should sing, where and with whom we should sing, and invite us
to sing. They thoughtfully provide a few ‘bonus tracks’ also for pastors
worship leaders, songwriters, musicians and other creative types.
An
enjoyable book, geared towards any worshipper.
I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for my
review.
5/5
