Endorsements:
"This is the perfect gift for your parish music director-and the whole choir-and everyone who should be singing in the congregation. When we sing, we pray, and we evangelize too. That's one way the early Christians changed the world."
-Scott Hahn, Professor of Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville and best-selling author of The Creed
"Aquilina has all the qualities that a good guide should possess: he knows the terrain (taking the reader through Scripture, antiquity, and the Church Fathers), he has a discerning eye (spotting the place of music in the Church), and is an engaging wit (the reader feels like he has been brought to stand outside the Jerusalem Temple, or in Ephrem's choir, or beside Ambrose in the great cathedral at Milan). This book considers an important but overlooked element of theologia prima, namely, how the Church performs her theology in what is actually sung doctrine. Easily accessible, fascinating, and inspiring to believers today."
-David Fagerberg, Professor of Liturgical Studies at Notre Dame University and author of On Liturgical Asceticism

Wonderful Gift Book fo Music Ministers!
Music is the most effective delivery system for feelings-love, joy, sadness, glory. The early Church Fathers knew that music also has power over minds, and they used that power to maximum effect, writing hymns through which the early Christians would learn, retain, and spread the Gospel message. In How the Choir Converted the World, best-selling author Mike Aquilina demonstrates how the earliest Christians used music to transform a world that desperately needed transforming. As Aquilina suggests, "If we did it once, we can do it again."About the author:
