From David and Jesus to Bach and the Blues Brothers Wait. What do the Blues Brothers have in common with King David? The connection lies not simply in the fact that they are all musicians, says author Reggie Kidd, but in the reasons they sing in the first place. With One Voice examines the rich heritage of the music of God's people to show how song is woven into Scripture's story, carrying believers into deeper relationship with God and with his purposes in redemption. More than a mere ornament of worship, music brings the worshiper into the company of the Savior. Through this exploration of music and song, join Jesus as he sings the lament of Psalm 22 on the cross and then conducts the "great assembly" upon his resurrection. On the way, discover Christ in the voices of David, Paul, Bach, the Blues Brothers-and possibly yourself. "With One Voice reaches deep into the history and theology of Scripture to show what it was like to sing from the heart to God and how that experience can be ours today." - John Frame, professor of systematic theology and philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary "Reggie Kidd blends heart and mind beautifully. He makes me seriously consider history and theology, but he also brings me to the core of worship, my heart before God. This is a great book."-Cliff Young, Caedmons Call "Reggie Kidd unfolds a vibrant, multicolored tapestry of faith-building, life-shaping artistic expression."-Carl Stam, director, Institute for Christian Worship, the Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryKidd, Reggie is the author of 'With One Voice Discovering Christ's Song in Our Worship', published 2005 under ISBN 9780801065910 and ISBN 0801065917.
