Church Musician's Handbook
A practical guide to music and its role within the church
Description
When Christians get together the world over they sing. Sometimes with fervour, sometimes in sorrow, often with joy. And yet church music is often the subject of despair for many church leaders and their congregations, and frustrating for the musicians and singers involved.
This practical guide sets out to put the record straight on the What, When and Why of Church music. Through a careful examination of the scriptures, insightful Bible studies, and a host of chapters covering the nitty gritty of How, The Church Musicians' Handbook will make an invaluable reference book for anyone involved in 'making music to the Lord'.

Very useful articles
I found the book extremely refreshing, it gives a good overview of the use of music in church with helpful and practical advice for musicians, leaders and anyone else involved in what is usually called "worship".
