In 1869 Schaff took his love for Christ and the Church and turned his efforts to a compilation of the great hymns of the Church down through the ages. His focus was upon one thing: JESUS CHRIST. Hear his words from the Preface, "Christ is the centre of sacred art as well as of theology and religion... From Him music has drawn its highest inspiration, and Handel transcended himself when he made 'Messiah' his theme. The sweetest lyrics of Zion in all ages celebrate the events of His life and the boundless wealth of mercy and peace that is treasured up in His person and work for every believer. The hymns of JESUS are the Holy of holies in the temple of sacred poetry." Schaff concludes his Preface with these words: "May He, whose holy name shines on every page, own and bless this labor of love to His own glory and praise, and to the joy and comfort of His people; animating their songs in the house of their pilgrimmage, until they adore Him face to face in the chorus of Redemption everlasting."

 | | REFORMED WORSHIP Worship That Is According To Scripture Terry Johnson The Reformers and Puritans believed that how we worship is just as important as how we are saved. They taught this because they understood (perhaps better than any Christians who ever lived) that the way worship, to a large extent, determines the God we worship. This is why biblical worship is always the response of the redeemed to God's initiative of self-revelation. If we worship according to our own imaginations and traditions, we will worship (at least to some degree) a God of our own imagination. But when we worship according to God's own instruction, we worship the God who is - the only true God. "For John Calvin, it was the issue of worship that neccessitated the Reformation. Terry Johnson concurs, and in this book he applies biblical principles to reform contemporary worship. In this volume Johnson argues a cogent biblical case for worship according to the historic understanding of the regulative principle. His treatment of John Frame's contributions in the area of worship is important reading for those encouraged by contemporary style worship. This book is essential and timely reading." - Dr. Derek W. H. Thomas AVAILABLE TO SHIP THE SAME DAY SGCB Price: $6.95 (list price $9.00) |

 | | PURITAN SKETCHES Music Inspired by "The Valley of Vision" Composed by Donald Bradley Kelley Inspired by "The Valley of Vision", Donald Bradley Kelley created 'Puritan Sketches' to communicate the truth and passion of these puritan prayersd through music. As most of you know, 'The Valley of Vision' (see our Banner of Truth titles) is a selection of petitions and meditations in the puritan tradition based on the meditations, prayers and other devotional writings of Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, William Jay, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Isaac Watts, and other Puritan writers . Some of the song titles include: I BLESS THEE THE WORTH OF JESUS TO GLORIFY THEE THE LORD'S GIVEN PLACE GRACIOUS LORD, THY NAME IS LOVE. "10 years ago I was given a copy of 'The Valley of Vision' A collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions, edited by Arthur Bennett and published by the Banner of Truth and Trust. At the time, I thought it would be interesting to set some to music but never acted on that impulse until recently. Having begun, I found myself entirely caught up in trying to communicate their truth and passion through music. I have adapted and edited as suited my purposes but freely acknowledge my debt to this book. The musical language is my own and I have made no effort to be "authentic" in any sense. This is a work of art, not musicology. But I have tried to convey the puritan sensibilities of a gracious communication of the truth." - the Composer "What a pleasure to listen to Brad Kelley's original and inspiring "Puritan Sketches." I sincerely hope that choir directors around the world discover this gem of a collection. Brad has skillfully managed to take uplifting historical material and make it accessible and enjoyable for the 21st century. It's just so nice to hear new church music that has substance in the text along with musical excellence. "Puritan Sketches" is certain to challenge and inspire choirs and audiences for ages to come!" - Paul Johnson, Composer/Arranger/Producer You can hear samples of all the selections by clicking on the Link.

 | | OLD LIGHT ON NEW WORSHIP Musical Instruments and the Worship of God, A Theological, Historical and Psychological Study John Price "The timeliness of this volume springs from the fact that we are living through a worship revolution. Evangelical worship has changed as much in the last twenty years as in the previous two hundred. The process has been swift, pervasive and controversial, leading to the tragic emergence of what have been called 'worship wars' in which brothers and sisters in Christ actually quarrel over how to worship their heavenly Father. Reformed churches are not proving immune to the clamor for change. So it is useful to have before us a calm, reasoned discussion of one of the issues." - From the Foreword by Edward Donnelly "I enthusiastically recommend this book on congregational worship. It is a great relief to have access to a scholarly modern examination of the question, 'What musical instruments are and which are not permissible in the public worship of God?' For clarity and fullness of treatment, yet at the same time for courtesy and pastoral wisdom, this study on an aspect of the regulative principle is first-class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO CHURCH MEMBERS AS WELL AS TO MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL." - Maurice Roberts 23% Discount SGCB Price: $12.50 (list price $15.99) |

 | | INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN PUBLIC WORSHIP John Girardeau with Introduction by R.L. Dabney "It is often forgotten that the use of musical instruments in the church's worship is a comparatively recent development among Presbyterians and Baptists, and that it was opposed by Calvin, the Westminster Assembly, Owen and the other Puritans, Gill and Spurgeon, as being out of accord with the simplicity of gospel worship under the new covenant. Girardeau's book is a standard defense of the Puritan view, examining the grounds for discerning what is carried over from the Old Testament and what is not." - Sherman Isbell The book opens with the following Statement of the Question: "In the discussion of the question, Whether the use of instrumental music in the worship of the church is permissible or not, it must be premised: First, that the question is not in regard to private or family worship, or to that of social gatherings which are not ecclesiastical in their nature, nor with reference to the utility or tastefulness of instrumental music, nor in relation to the abuse to which it may be liable; but, Secondly, the question is precisely, Is the use of instrumental music in the public worship of the church justifiable? The design of this discussion is, with the help of the divine Spirit, to prove the negative." In the Introduction to this new edition of Girardeau's classic R.L. Dabney states: "The author in his eloquent conclusion anticipates that some will meet his arguments with sneers rather than serious discussion, which he proposes to endure with Christian composure. It is a reproach to our church, which fills us with grief, to find this prediction fulfilled in some quarters. Surely persons calling themselves Presbyterians should remember that the truths they profess to hold sacred have usually been in small minorities sneered at by the arrogant majorities. So it was in the days of the Reformers, of Athanasius, of the Apostles, and of Jesus himself." 25% Discount SGCB Price: $14.95 (list price $20.00) |

 click for details | | Why I Left the Contemporary Christian Music Movement Confessions of a Former Worship Leader Dan Lucarini For many churches today, music has become one of the most important factors in both their mode of worship and their attempts to reach unbelievers with the gospel. Writing from his own personal experience as a former worship leader, Dan Lucarini questions the use of contemporary music in the worship of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and shows why he believes many churches have been deceived into using ever increasing worldly means to 'reach their lost'. He has seen at first hand how an emphasis on music, and the ultimate move towards rock music in particular, has caused divisions in the church, and turned the emphasis in worship away from the Lord towards ourselves. This warm and heartfelt account is intended to highlight these dangers and to help churches wishing to reverse this trend return God to his rightful place as the centre of our worship.

While many Christians refuse to question the practices, presuppositions, and theology of CCM, John Makujina dares to challenge the music and the method of this billion dollar a-year mega-craze. In the words of Calvin M. Johansson, "Makujina takes the reader step by step through a series of well-thought-through insights which go to the heart of the church's adoption of popular musical culture. It is a meaty detailed, thought-provoking treatise which should be read by every pastor, musician, church official, and parishioner.
