This is not a book on the how-to's of praise and worship, nor is it a book about the seven Hebrew words for praise or how to be released into dance. It is not a book about improving musical techniques, developing your song-writing skills, or preparing a Sunday morning worship service. Although much material has been written on those subjects and we have been blessed to grow in all those areas, that is not what this book is about. Rather than an endeavor to simply release more information, Sound of Heaven, Symphony of Earth is an endeavor to help bring the body of Christ in formation.We live in the "Information Age," a day of increasing revelation, prophetic insight and sensitivity to the spirit realm. There is certainly no shortage of intellectual stimulation, and spirituality has become almost a flippant byword in some circles. This is a time when science fiction can become science fact overnight. Although this isn't a science book, and I am not a scientist, I do enjoy and take advantage of scientific information. The information I share with you will be based on scientific fact, confessed speculation, and spiritual revelation.The more I researched and mined the truths for this book, the more I realized there is much we don't yet know about sound and its relationship to the unveiling of God's glory. By no means will I attempt to convince you that I am a scientist or an educator. However, I believe that the Holy Spirit has given me some of the pieces of the puzzle to heaven's sound. I pray that this book will introduce new paths of revelation to those who have an ear to hear and a heart to pursue God.

A poet’s audio obsession, from collecting his earliest vinyl to his quest for the ideal vacuum tubes. A captivating book that “ingeniously mixes personal memoir with cultural history and offers us an indispensable guide for the search of acoustic truth” (Yunte Huang, author of Charlie Chan). Garrett Hongo’s passion for audio dates back to the Empire 398 turntable his father paired with a Dynakit tube amplifier in their modest tract home in Los Angeles in the early 1960s. But his adult quest begins in the CD-changer era, as he seeks out speakers and amps both powerful and refined enough to honor the top notes of the greatest opera sopranos. In recounting this search, he describes a journey of identity where meaning, fulfillment, and even liberation were often most available to him through music and its astonishingly varied delivery systems. Hongo writes about the sound of surf being his first music as a kid in Hawai‘i, about doo-wop and soul reaching out to him while growing up among Black and Asian classmates in L.A., about Rilke and Joni Mitchell as the twin poets of his adolescence, and about feeling the pulse of John Coltrane’s jazz and the rhythmic chords of Billy Joel’s piano from his car radio while driving the freeways as a young man trying to become a poet. Journeying further, he visits devoted collectors of decades-old audio gear as well as designers of the latest tube equipment, listens to sublime arias performed at La Scala, hears a ghostly lute at the grave of English Romantic poet John Keats in Rome, drinks in wisdom from blues musicians and a diversity of poetic elders while turning his ear toward the memory-rich strains of the music that has shaped him: Hawaiian steel guitar and canefield songs; Bach and the Band; Mingus, Puccini, and Duke Ellington. And in the decades-long process of perfecting his stereo setup, Hongo also discovers his own now-celebrated poetic voice.

Somewhere in Christian history we picked up the lie that it is good to suppress excitement. We, as the church, carry with us the regurgitated message that our authentic joy is a “distraction,” that it’s bad for our brothers and sisters to see or be around. But how can our honest displays of his glory be outlawed? How can our authentic responses of adoration be bad? Reflecting God’s character and shining for him is often seen in the church as a selfish act. Yet, we are called to join with creation in boldly declaring the glory of God and worshiping him according to his greatness. Big God, Big Glory shares with readers a heavenly and biblical perspective on how to be free, not suppressed; fulfilled and wholly alive—all for the glory of God.

God’s world is full of good things. Ice-cold lemonade. The laughter of children. College football. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. A late night with old friends around a blazing campfire. God certainly knows how to give good gifts to his children. But where is the line when it comes to enjoying all the pleasurable things our world affords? In The Things of Earth, professor Joe Rigney offers perplexed Christians a breath of fresh air by lifting the burden of false standards and impossible expectations related to the Christian life—freeing readers to gratefully embrace every good thing we receive from the hand of God. Helping us avoid our tendency to forget the Giver on the one hand and neglect his gifts on the other, this much-needed book reminds us that God’s blessings should drive us to worship and that a passion for God’s glory can be as wide as the world itself.
