The Ministry of Music in the Black Church
“Dr. Mapson undergirds his study with a clear understanding of the Africa - African American cultural continuum and the unique cultural context of the Black experience in the United States. In addition to offering a wealth of experience and expertise as both a musician and pastor through the well scripted text, Dr. Mapson’s very applicable strategies and suggestions for effective music ministry remain current and fundamental to success in ministry.” --Black Church Music Ministry Project blog posting, “Four Books You Must Have in Your Library, ” August 21, 2009
