God's Lyrics: Rediscovering Worship Through Old Testament Songs
"Doug O'Donnell has carefully and caringly unpacked the treasury of Scripture's songs and provided a rich resource."--Niel Nielson, President, Covenant College"This book is unique: it combines the careful exposition of God's Word with creative work in hymnody. It will be appreciated by pastors, musicians, and everyone else who loves to worship God in the biblical way." --Philip Ryken, President, Wheaton College"God's Lyricsis a bracing challenge for both classic and contemporary Christian lyricists . . . pointing the way forward toward a revival of song texts that are both biblically true and balanced."--Randall Gruendyke, Chaplain of Taylor University, Upland, Indiana"For the Christian who has become a bit numb to the grand realities of God's saving acts recorded in the Bible, Doug O'Donnell's prescription is a healthy dose of the songs of Scripture. This book makes great medicine!" --Greg Wheatley, Host of Moody Radio sPrime Time AmericaandSound of Majesty"O'Donnell argues -- passionately, humorously, challengingly -- that we must compare our singing to the Scripture and take our cues from the songs of Scripture."--Chuck King, Pastor for Worship & Music, College Church in Wheaton"His expositions provide preachers with models of responsible exposition, and his analysis of contemporary trends in music offers musicians a helpful grid through which to evaluate their own ministry." --Daniel I. Block, Gunther H. Knoedler Professor of Old Testament, and Ph.D. Program Coordinator, Biblical Studies, Wheaton College
