Outstanding & Inspirational

Carol Cymbala's book is a must read. It will encourage your spirit to sour and will lead you into a more trusting relationship with God. If you are a leader in your church, especially if you are the Minister of Music this book is a must read. Yes, He's Faithful!

Great Book

I've read this book in a week after i bought it. Its very easy to read and interesting. I think its a must read for somebody in music ministry or any other ministry. Tihs book really doesn't tell you anything new but it does show the character of heart needed in ministry. This is a really good book.

Inspires and Motivates!

This book is part of a multi-media project in that it contains a music CD bearing the same title. After reading the book, the music is even more meaningful because it covers the background of the person who wrote the lyrics. Carol Cymbala, a pastor's wife who leads the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, describes the challenges she faced and how they were overcome through faith in God. The focus of her book is not her as hero, but on God as deliverer. In fact, the lyrics to the title song, emphasize that theme, that in spite of the wavering of the individual, "He's been faithful." It's a song and book of gratitude to God for his faithfulness. She gives the history of the early days of the congregation. She talks about how God added to the church. This is a testimony that is encouraging to other Christians in that it shows how God worked in one context, New York City, and causes one to realize what He did for others, He is willing to do for them. There are various individual stories contained in this work, i.e., different members of the choir have their testimonies featured throughout the book.

A must read for everyone in the music ministry

This book has totally turned my life around as far as my involvement in the music ministry of our church. Carol Cymbala tells us the true secrets behind the success of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. Those include prayer and dedication to the cause of ministering to people through music. This book will shake you to realize that music in the church is not for entertainment or self-gratification, but to help draw people to Jesus as we lift Him up in praise and worship. I will never step to our platform to minister through song and think differently. We are asking all of our choir members to read and discuss this book.

Wonderful, Inspirational, Uplifting, OUTSTANDING BOOK!!!

"He's Been Faithful" is truly an OUTSTANDING book. Carol Cymbala has done a fantastic job with this her first book (and hopefully more to come!)
