"We went through the book and picked out the tunes we liked, rehearsed a couple of times (with him on flute, sax and trombone and me on guitar and harmonicas) and did the gigs."
"All tunes use modern chords so I feel they are easy to follow and improvise over."
"I had to download a Kindle ap to use on my iPad, but its a decent fake book."
"Works great on the Kindle App with my iPad Pro X."
"A must have for the holidays."
"Like other reviewers, I found that some of the arrangements seem a bit lazy (just adding a maj7 over the classic chords, for example), but overall the quality is good."
"I always iike the easy to use format of these real books and I can count on good chord choices."
-- Publishers Weekly. New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber takes readers back to church--where preaching isn't always enough. To fill the pews and collection plates, Bishop is counting on a new choir director, the charismatic Aaron Mackie, to revive the church. Aaron has been waiting his entire life to prove he has what it takes to be a big-time choir director. After a church member commits suicide, secrets are exposed that could destroy the church and various relationships as Weber (Up to No Good) successfully explores the multiple megaproblems challenging this church family and scores again with a lively mix of church politics and bedroom follies. When the popular choir director of First Jamaican Ministries, the biggest church in Queens, New York, is presented a Man of the Year award, his wife announces to the congregation that he is gay, forcing him out of the closet and out of the church. Bishop T. K. Wilson, determined to find a choir director who can make his choir great again (and his church famous), offers the position, along with a great salary and nice car, to Aaron Mackie, who has the voice of an angel, the looks of a cover model, and the charisma of a Kennedy.

"I had grown so tired of reading fiction books by African-American authors that only displayed black people as the common stereotypical gold diggers, hoes, and gangsters with no depth or soul. I read some of the reviews that insinuated that characters did not get what they deserved in the end."
"Maxwell, a shameless neer-do-well, whose comic book villiany reminded me of JR Ewing from the old primetime sudser, DALLAS, tells Monique that her husband is a criminal and without a blink, she accepts it and does the unspeakable. Simone, a known liar prevaricates to Tia about who Aaron is and Tia confronts Aaron and ends their relationship based on what emerged from Simone's lying mouth. After a while, many writers run out of ideas or their ideas aren't as fresh and imaginative."
"I anxiously read wanting to find out what happened next, but really not wanting the story to come to an end."
"This is a real page-turner & I love that he incorporated characters from other books, it gives you a chance to see what those characters evolved into, PLEASE keep doing that Mr. Weber, your readers love seeing our favorite characters again!!"
"The good people of First Jamaica Ministries come to praise the Lord, and get a good dose of drama!! Bishop TK Wilson and First Lady Monique Wilson are enjoying another Sunday service at church when a bombshell is dropped: the current choir director is outed by his wife for being gay and having relations with several members of the church. Aaron's selection as choir director reveals that many pople of the church are up to no good."

"The LSB is a wonderful book for Lutherans to use at church, at home with their families, or for personal study."
"The Kindle edition is a bit clunky, especially if your device is a small handheld."
"After more experimentation, I found the contents side bar off the left of the screen, so a quick swipe brings it up and I can scan sections for the song or order of service I need - much better!"
"Yes, this Kindle version has the entire LSB but the hymns are not expandable and are therefore difficult to read."
"This is a terrific resource with one important shortcoming: it doesn't have real page numbers set up, so you're limited to working with Kindle "Locations.""
"First, The Lutheran Service Book is a lovely hymnal and I've been waiting for the Kindle version to come out ever since I purchased the pew edition for home use."
