Book Description

August 1, 2005
What church service would be complete without music? And yet, many of us believe our music directors, choir members, and musicians perform simply to entertain us and bring balance to the service. In truth, their responsibility and privilege lies on a much higher level. They are each ministers who have been called to prepare the hearts of the congregants for the planting of the Word of God.

"When They Began To Sing" focuses first on the commitment of spirit, mind, and body. Before the first note is ever formed, the intent of the heart must be examined. The tools found within the pages of this book are critical for building any music minister and their ministry.

From the Author

"He is one of the most heart-throbbing, prolific and anointed young writers that I have heard of late. His music has brought me to tears of praise and worship. I know this book will be a blessing to you." Pastor Andrae Crouch – Pacoima, CA

"Having experienced joint ministry with Alvin Fruga in the United States and abroad, I can truly testify that he possesses the anointing of a prophetic psalmist, and has an exceptional ability to bless congregations both large and small. He is a man of character, charisma and candor. A model ministry gift worthy of the highest acceptation." Bishop Brian Keith Williams – Columbus, OH

5.0 out of 5 stars If you thought Music was just Christian Entertainment.....Wrong!, October 24, 2005
This review is from: When They Began to Sing: Understanding God's Purpose for the Music Ministry (Paperback)
Reading this book will give you the spiritual awareness of why music is so important in our Chrisitan walk. Fruga explains so simply why and how God used music as a ministry. If you are interested in the gospel music business, directing a choir, in a choir or just a regular "church member" who sings along...this book will change how you think about praise and worship. There is nothing like this on the market. Fruga pulls out from the Word the real meaning of why we sing. A must have for every Christian's library!
