The Book:

Chapter 1 - This link will take you to the theological part of the site, defending the music itself (Christian rock) directly from Scripture. Although a lot of this site is specific to Seventh Day Adventists, this chapter can apply to and be used by all denominations as a reference and a study guide. Other musical styles and instruments themselves are defended below. More will always be added.

Chapter 2 - Here is a true and ongoing account concerning worship and praise music (hymns etc.) in a church setting. This is a true story and there has been some debate regarding the necessity of this kind of information. However, due to the nature of the situation I believe it can be very helpful to those out there who feel they are alone and that nobody can relate to their situation and/or maybe they are even starting to question their own God given talents as being scripturally sound. That is why I find that the internet is such a great tool and a resource for some of life's most difficult questions because it obliterates the boundaries of communication and distance. I have made NO attempt to name names or the church name, or even church titles for that matter. I did record the whole situation keeping this text in mind, "Do everything in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14.
