Good church-related discussion:
I bought this book specifically because I saw that the first 7 chapters discuss non-technical church-related sound issues. I find this book very useful.

There is a lot of very practical information for a contemporary church. As a volunteer on the soundboard at a mid-sized church, I find a lot in this book that I can directly apply. For instance, I now... more info

The Ultimate Church Sound Operator's Handbook:
Not everyone who runs a CHURCH sound system is of the same spiritual persuasion. It would be a bit offensive to have to read the first three chapters of Christian Proselytizing if you are not Christian.

As complete as it gets!:
I am the sound engineer at a small Baptist church. My background is R&R drummer and sound engineer at other larger churches. This book not only taught me more about sound, but helped me apply the knowledge to the entire church family. There's as much about attitude as there is about amplitude. This truly is the 'ultimate' church sound operator's handbook. It's relatively cheap, too.
