Sound, Lighting and Video: A Resource for Worship

"So THAT'S what that's for!" I'm a 47yo clueless lady who needed to kearn this for grad school. GREAT book!

Nice resource for someone trying to gain basic knowledge / understanding about contemporary worship equipment. I found it quite helpful as a "do-it-yourself" small church pastor who does not have sound personnel. It is up-to-date as well. I recommend it.

Great place to start in developing one's understanding of technology in Christian worship. I oversee a worship ministry in a medium-sized church. As we continue to grow, it's important for me to develop a foundational understanding of how to utilize technology and mobilize my tech teams. The book is clearly written and provides material that is accessible for those just beginning to learn about sound in a worship venue. Worth the purchase, for sure.

If you are trying to set up systems for sound, lighting or video this is a great resource. It's written lightly and not like a traditional tech manual so getting the information you need is not a boring endeavor. "fire is bad." indeed

I am a biblical counseling major and this is a required book for me to read. I had no idea what I was going to learn, but I learned a lot. It is for sure a text book. I got it on my kindle, so I can imagine what the hard copy is like. It is very detailed which is good, but since I am not into lighting and sound and that is not my field, it took me awhile to get it through. very tedious. For someone who is interested and wants to know a lot about this field and wants to know every detail, this would be the book to read.

Very practical tips, tricks, and help with trouble shooting your sound system. As a very much beginner in the sound and tech era, this book saved my life.

This book taught a lot about what it looks like to be a sound engineer and the basics of how to run a media team.

This book is great, especially for those going into a worship-related career who aren't extremely knowledgeable with the technology side of things. Good introduction and also resource to look back on. Definitely recommend.

This book gives a summary of sound, lighting and video for use by churches. It doesn't go into great detail, so if you want something to tell you everything you need to know, this isn't it - but it does give a very good summary. After reading this book, at least you'll know which questions you need to ask, and get answered, from more in-depth sources. That's what I bought the book for (to get an overview of lighting), so it did a good job for me.It's an easy book to read, and can easily be read through from beginning to end in a few hours, or skip bits if you want.
