"This book fills a very large need - and fills it well: church musicians have longed for a book that both clearly and richly could introduce them to the art of authentic Gospel piano playing. Any person who can play hymns in a 'traditional manner' can learn from this well thought-through book, how to play them in a convincing Gospel manner. Bravo to Carl MaultsBy for a job well done!"
