O sing unto the Lord a new song! Every generation. Every culture. Every church. Every Christian. What an incredible privilege and responsibility! And yet, believers have been arguing about music since the days of the early church. Why is this? Perhaps we rely on our traditions, personal tastes, cultural backgrounds, or the latest trends more than God's Word. New Heart, New Spirit, New Song attempts to reorient our thinking in fundamental ways about: the nature of music, the heart of worship, the role of music in the Christian's daily life, music in missions. In these pages you will find simple, direct help in making your musical praise reflect the glorious Saviour you worship. - Back cover.
