This book does just what it says,
This review is from: How to Grow a Young Music Lover (Paperback)
To the reader who complained about dogma, maybe you shouldn't buy a Christian book by a Christian author then. This book is just what it intends to be, a reference for Christian parents on opening up the world of music for their children. It is both practical and poetic. Worth reading.

Stop preaching your faith for a minute!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Grow a Young Music Lover (Paperback)
Let me say...I believe in God and try to live a spiritual life, but give me a break! Had a difficult time getting through this one. Ms. Fuller spends WAY too much time going on about religion, faith and God and not nearly enough time on the idea of teaching kids about music which is why I picked up the book! If I wanted a book on spirituality, I would've gotten one! It seems that every turn, Fuller is finding some excuse to go on about her religious fervor. Why do some Christians feel that they have to hit us over the head with their faith? I was very disappointed at all the dogma I had to wade through to get to what the book was SUPPOSED to be about! I would suggest that you try to find another book on this topic before trying this one.
