Music Matters: Understanding and Applying the Amazing Power of Godly Music

This is a great book if you have any questions about music! I love books from Striving Together because you don't have to worry about what version of the Bible they are using! Whenever I need a book to encourage my walk or a friend, I look at Striving Together first because I trust them! This book helped clear up alot of questions that I may have had about music, including what is wrong with the new music of today and also what the real reason for listening to music is! I encourage you to buy this book if you have any question about your music or even if you find yourself not liking any kind of music! God created music, but Satan is using it to harm us! Music will always change a person! Loved the book! Thank you for having the faith and courage to stand up for what is right in a world that is so wrong! Praying for you guys!

I read this and also now have my children read this as teens. They love Cary Schmidt's writing, so they devour his books. Our family believes that we should teach our children why we have the standards we do. This book is a great tool for helping them understand why we are so picky with music.

Pastor Schmidt does a good job summarizing the effects of music on people's emotions and how it guides people to think/feel a certain way (i.e. the heart).My favorite part would be his scripture references for the guiding principles about what kind of music we allow ourselves to meditate on.

A short but insightful book. Cary uses Biblical accounts and testimony as to the power, both good and bad of music. His love and sinsativity to this topic is appreciated and his message is written in a loving way.

Great simple read on the importance of music in our lives and choosing the right music.

I'd recommend this book to the new an aged Christian. For the new Christian it gives great parameters that God honoring music should land in. And for the aged Christian is help in understanding how influential music can really be in a young persons life.

Thisas given as a gift. Wonderfully written!

good read.
