I came across this title in a missionary journal so ordered it. It's a lovelingly compiled glimpse into villages and tribes world wide to see and hear the effects of simple worship on a people. Rather than imposing western worship on people groups,nissionaries are helping people groups to take scriptures, put them into their own musical form using the melodies, instruments, and techniques of their villages to create their unique worship. The effect is humbling in the love and honor given to the Word of God in remote places. Not only are we able to hear the music, but we are able to see the people, their instruments, and their surroundings on the CD Rom. The book tells stories of each person or village. I can imagine every Bible college wanting this book as text in its missions and music programs.

This book and accompanying CD have opened my eyes to what is happening with worship music around the world! Filled with inspirational stories and quality recordings, this book gives the reader a taste of what music we will be singing in heaven.

I highly recommend this book. It's exciting to read about what God is doing worldwide in and through music. Anything else I say would just echo the thoughts from others, so for now I will leave it at that: a "yea" for this book. :)

For anyone interested in world music and especially that which glorfies Christ, this book is an absolute must. The accompanying disk is full of recodings that you can't get elsewhere. This material could be marketed for a much greater price. It's a rare gem!
