Music Reviews (by Kim Gentes)

Back in the mid-90's Kim began writing impromptu reviews of church music CDs (worship music) so that people who were looking for CDs would have an opinion from someone who is also a worship leader and is garnering music for local church use.  Up to this point, this was rarely something that was done, because church music was revered as sacred and it was thought that any offering of that sacred worship shouldn't be criticised or evaluated.  In fact, Kim wasn't as much a critic as he was an evaluator, helping people find what fit their church. He began posting his reviews on line in a email discussion forum, called the Worship List (website).  After a while, when he helped launch Worshipmusic.com, he continued that same concept of trying to help other local church worship leaders and musicians find music that might be applicable to their situations.  The reviews continued to be a part of that. Worshipmusic.com went on to grow a staff of writers that would add many more reviews to the collection they have, but Kim continued to participate as a key reviewer.  This journal logs all the reviews Kim has written on worship music CDs and projects.

Kim's reviews of CD projects of worship music includes independents, label and main stream recordings, but all having to do with worship music.

A Well Worn Path - Dunn & Wilt (2012) - devotional

Friends,

This unique Easter /Passion week resource was very encouraging to me. I wanted to let everyone know about it as soon as I had a chance to go through it. It is a perfect combination of musical backdrop and thoughtful, spiritual formation-based devotional as we walk the road of Christ to the Easter event.  Even if you don't do each day, these devotionals are poignant and uplifting, bringing us into the scriptural themes of the week as we live, die and are raised again with Christ on the holy road to easter. I highly encourage you to see below and download this resource for free.
