Endorsement
"Mr Pipes Comes to America is a delightful book...Douglas Bond intends to challenge the revivalist mentality that has dominated hymns and hymnology for too long, and to promote hymns constructed on solid theological and musical foundations. If we and our children can learn the lessons Mr. Pipes has to teach, the future of church music will be a little brighter." - Peter Leithart.
