Rick Shrader‘s Review:
My second read by pastor DeBruyn was as good as the first (See my review of Church on the Rise in the January ‘08 edition). This smaller booklet is a quicker and more to the point study of the effect of drumming in rock music. Drumming, of course, has become the center piece on most church platforms. The booklet will encourage some caution. DeBruyn, a ‘74 Th.M graduate from Dallas Seminary, gives great background and biblical analysis of this new but old problem. He shows the connection with Shamanism and especially Voodoo that rock music has, whether Christian or secular, in its “varying rates of vibration.” DeBruyn quotes many secular musicians that confirm this connection and does a fine job of relating biblical principles. Copies of the booklet can be obtained from the church’s website: www.frbaptist.org
