3 comments about Puppets: Ministry Magic.

1. I only know how to make puppets. I made a few and tried them in the children's church I help teach and it just worked so well. Decided that we needed to learn more about puppets so found this book on internet and ordered. It has really taught me a lot about puppetry and am in the process of starting a teen puppet team. What a blessing. I know how to make puppets but the Lord knows how to teach and has provided one tool I can use through this book. Appreciate your prompt delivery.



2. When I was asked in 1997 to be director of puppet ministries at a local church, I knew nothing about directing a puppet ministry.

   After having read "Puppets: Ministry Magic" I was able to tackle my task of director of puppet ministries.




3. This book is a great, complete reference to help build, grow and maintain a puppet ministry group. The authors write with conviction and experience suitable to their topic. There are sections that help beginners and advanced puppeteers as well as leaders who need the information to direct other to excel. They really know their stuff!!

1. In Sacred Art Sacred Earth, Heyoka Merrifield has told the story of his life by exposing his personal and creative journey as and offering that reveals the source of creativity and the roots of imagination. The exquiste photographs of his sacred art make his keen alchemical visions available to many in book form, and the story of his courageous growth into shamanistic powers open our hearts.

4 comments about Contempory Christian Music.

1. This book is perfect for our times. It is my experience that churches, pastors and congregations are totally confused and uninformed regarding music for their church. Mr. Miller gives a fair and complete explanation of all kinds of music and what it means. The objective view is based on the Bible. I think before we can argue about the "Comtemporary Christian Music Debate" we need to be well informed on every level. Mr. Miller does just that. The book helps to clarify what is true and what we have heard from others. Every Christian needs to be informed on this subject. His research is both fascinating and extensive. This unique treasure of information is a must for anyone searching true answers on Christian Music.

2. There is nothing more divisive than the type of music used in churches across the country on Sunday mornings. Yet, do we need to quarrel? Author Steve Miller provides a biblical framework for deciding what type of music will speak to the hearts of people. What other criteria should we use? The best sections of the book deal with the history of church music. Great lessons are here! Can't wait for an updated version to be written by this writer.



3. Having read MANY books on the subject of contemporary music in the church, this is the best I have ever seen. It is sound, Biblical, thoroughly researched (11 years of research!), and balanced. If you have questions, or just want to learn about the history of Christian music, there is NO BETTER book.



4. This is definitely one of the best Christian books I have ever read! Steve Miller takes the reader through the whole history of Christian music, from the time when only psalms were acceptable, all the way up to CCM. In doing this he lovingly shows how all these different styles of music can communicate to completely different cultures and times. He also takes common arguments against CCM and breaks them down to show that our God is a God who can and does speak through all forms of music, whether it be traditional hymns, or more modern-day CCM. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who's open to finding out more about God and music
