Endorsements
"From the start of reading Mr Pipes and Psalms and Hymns of the Reformation as a family, out seven children - including an avid young church accompanist and three other musicians - were always eager for the next chapter. Mr. bond skillfully weaves delightful storytelling with good information about composers, lyricists, and sacred music culture of the Reformation in a manner that both intrigues and teaches. There should be more books like this!" - E. Calvin Beisner, Associate Professor, Knox Theological Seminary
