Book Reviews of The Gospel Sound: Good News and Bad Times - 25th Anniversary Edition (Hal Leonard Reference Books)

Book Review: A Counter Point To The Unappreciative Reader
Summary: 5 Stars

To the reader who stated that Heilbut gets "emotionally" carried away, or that his "fanatical religious beliefs" make him bias:

NEWS FLASH: last I heard, Heilbut is an atheist.

So how can he be religiously biased toward gospel music if he doesn't believe in the God they sing about? I'll tell you: because he is a music lover-he likes the sound, not the message.
