Minneapolis Star-Tribune review
A well-done review, and some fair criticism, from the Star-Trib’s Martin Schmutterer, who takes me to task for not speaking to more people, and “thus only half the story.” In my defense, I was worried about the book becoming a morass of quotes and characters and tried to limit the “talking heads,” but I absolutely see Schmutterer’s point.
I don’t, on the other hand, concede on this one:
And, although put forward as a given, there is no insight into the mindset of separateness and persecution that pervades evangelical culture and informs its music.
I think I covered that quite thoroughly. Please let me know if you disagree.

I think you did a great job covering this topic. My husband and I just finished the book today; I read that part aloud to him (we were taking turns with the book), b/c I think that’s one example of when you saw the ccm world/evangelical culture more clearly than it sees itself.
