Bücher von Andy Judd

You are a music director. Maybe you are paid a few days a week; probably you are doing this for the love. Either way, it's a huge job. And it's an important job one which requires you to have your head around both the contentious theology of worship music, and the musical and relational challenges of building a team of creative people.This book is about helping you sharpen your theology, define your role and vision, and build your team at the same time as dealing with the day to day reality of music ministry wrangling with flakey guitarists, practising hostage negotiation with the sound guys, and responding to 40 page complaint emails with grace.Lending their gifts to the cause are:Mark Peterson, the music minister at Holy Trinity Adelaide, and the writer of some incredible songs (See Him Coming, Hallelujah to the King of Kings, Highest Place) which are blessing congregations all over the world.
