WINNER OF THE 2011 GLOBAL eBOOK AWARD FOR CHRISTIAN NON-FICTION
It's All About HYMN: Essays on Reclaiming Sacred and Traditional Music for Worship, by Donn LeVie Jr. (September 2008, 288 pages). $16.99 retail. ISBN 978-0-9814857-0-6. Go to book page.
Classical guitarist, church musician, and author Donn LeVie, Jr. invites congregations, church musicians, and music leaders to honestly assess how well their worship music uplifts the gospel. In this book, they will discover there is no room for personal preference where spiritual discernment, established church music criteria, and scriptural guidance must give wing to our voices in praise and adoration of an Almighty God.
With so many contemporary evangelical voices calling for “redefining”, “rethinking”, “remaking”, and “repackaging” Christian worship, now comes a new voice for reclaiming its sacred and traditional precepts for worshipping God through sung prayer. Praised by some of the world’s leading and respected authorities in the church music field, It’s All About HYMN: Essays on Reclaiming Sacred and Traditional Music for Worship opens up new doors to dialogue, sheds light on factors that influence the Western Christian worship model, and challenges all Christians to reassess how they approach the very act of worship.
"This book should be read by all leaders of Christian worship--and by members of their congregations as well."
Dr. David Music, Professor of Church Music, Baylor University
"All who are serious about corporate worship will greatly benefit from a careful study of this thought-provoking book."
Dr. Gary Gilley, Pastor, Southern View Chapel

Instrumental Influences: Reflections on the Classical Guitar from the Instrument's Most Influential Performers and Pedagogues by Donn LeVie Jr. (April 2011, 312 pages). $22.00 retail. ISBN: 978-0-9814857-3-7. Go to book page.
A first for classical guitar; a first for classical music.
Never before have the voices of so many classical guitar performers and pedagogues come together for a unique project that examines how the study, teaching, and performance of the classical guitar have been "instrumental influences" in the livs of the artists and teachers, or the lives of their students.
Instrumental Influences unveils for readers not only the variables that classical guitar students, teachers, and virtuosos must develop over years of practice, but how such acquired disciplined training opens up other avenues for personal growth beyond the study of the classical guitar.
"Donn LeVie Jr. provides a unique window into the personal journeys and insights from some of the most respected classical guitarists performing today, and synthesizes them with his own experiences as a performer in a warm, engaging style."
Dr. Michael Quantz, Associate Professor of Guitar, The University of Texas-Brownsville
