Too much of the debate surrounding different worship styles center on personal music preferences.

Paul Jones, respected author on church musicianship and worship, takes one step further back and asks the question 'What is the music for?'.

Looking at biblical and historical sources, he builds a structure to help us all understand where we should be directing our energies and attention - and how to increase the value of our worshipful singing.

Paul S. Jones (DM, Indiana University) is president of Paul Jones Music, Inc. and the composer or arranger of more than seventy sacred works. He was the music director at the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church for seventeen years.
