Endorsements

"In Preaching to the Choir, Wayne Wold gives church musicians a welcome reminder of what we are really about and why we are about it. In what is partly a 'how-to-do-it' but essentially a 'why-to-do-it' book, Wold discusses planning for worship, choosing music, leading rehearsals, teaching, and caring for the spiritual life of both choir members and directors in an easily accessible, often humorous, and ultimately profound way. His 'Eleven Things Not to Say at Choir Rehearsal' is worth the price of the book."
—Carl Schalk, Distinguished Professor of Music Emeritus, Concordia University, River Forest, IL
