0.75 poundsThe latest offering from Garen L. Wolf is unique on the
shelves of devotional literature. On the face of it, the two-volume Tuning
the Musician’s Heart is aimed at providing daily devotional guides to those
ministering in sacred melody. But it is much more. The author employs his
extensive knowledge of the original meanings of ancient Hebrew, Aramaic and
Greek musical terms to address the role of music in worship and its biblical
roots. His observations for October 19 splendidly illuminate the predicament
faced by many music leaders—to provide a worship experience that is relevant to
today’s worshiper while maintaining sacredness with integrity. (That entry
alone is worth the price of the book.) He provides rare insight into the
spiritual motivations of the great musicians of the Bible— such as the Psalmist
David and the temple musicians— along with Paul’s admonitions for the use of
song in the Early Church. He skillfully reduces his concepts into common
English and enlarges the borders to include everyday life for Christians in
general. Even readers whose extent of music making extends no further than
joining in congregational singing and listening to recorded instrumentals will
find much to appreciate here. This volume makes a great gift idea for local
congregational music makers, and high school and college students who are
serious, not only about their music education, but also their walk with God and
serving him with their God-given talent. (Trade Paperback; Code: 636X; 260 pages)
