Why do you (or do you not) sing at church? Authors, lyricists, and worship leaders Keith and Kristyn Getty explore thoroughly the basis and nature of congregational singing, reminding churchgoers that it is an opportunity to proclaim the gospel with one voice.
Why do you sing at church?
It's a question we almost never ask out loud. Yet, this is a question that is central to the lives of Christians who regularly gather together for worship.
Do you sing to God? Or do you "address one another in hymns and spiritual songs," as the Scripture says? Do you close your eyes? What is your posture in worship? This book is designed with these questions in mind.
Or maybe you don't sing at church-or if you do, not with very much enthusiasm, hoping to hide behind a wall of sound. After all, not everyone sings at the same skill level, same rhythm, or pitch.
Authors, lyricists, and worship leaders, Keith and Kristyn Getty write to church members to remind them why the Church should sing, when the Church should sing, and how the Church should sing. A congregation that gains a greater understanding of why they sing won't dread a worship service, with arms crossed and shoulders slumped, but see singing as an opportunity to proclaim the gospel together in obedience to God. *Sing!* guides individual church members together with their congregation on a campaign to declare with one voice, This is why we sing!

I love the Getty's music and was excited to read their new book 'Sing'. Sadly I found the book rather repetitious and it was tedious to read. They could have said what was said in a smaller written book. But I did learn some especially the command for us, his people, to Sing. It's not optional. The last chapters saved the book. The checklists about Pastors, Musicians, Song leaders and Programmers are great and I got a lot from those chapters. I would still recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about singing as a congregation. Singing in the family, including children in the worship service, those parts were good. \\r\\n
