title: Music and Morals: Dispelling the Myth That Music Is Amoral
author:  Kimberly Smith 
description: <em>"Kimberly Smith has the resources and has done the research that is necessary to comprehend the works of music scholars.</em> Music and Morals <em>takes the elements of music and boils them down into an understandable and readable format that even a non-musician can understand."</em><br />                                               <strong> --Dr. Frank Garlock<br />                                                Founder and CEO<br />                                                Majesty Music</strong><br /> <br /> <br /> "<em>Music and Morals</em> hits at the very heart of the CCM controversy today. While so many people are getting caught up in the discussions on personalities and sidebar issues, Kim takes aim at the core pillar of the CCM movement: the neutrality of music. While CCM proponents have given little or no evidence to support the amorality of music, they have, nonetheless, accepted this major tenet without question. If this argument falls, the entire house of cards set up by the CCM community falls, as well. Thank you, Kim, for a reasoned, well documented, and biblical look at this key issue."<br /> <br />                                               <strong> --Tim Fisher<br />                                                Founder and President<br />                                                Sacred Music Services</strong><br /> <br /> <br /> "As a Christian counselor I have been waiting for a book that presents evidence that music and morals are definitely connected. Having been a counselor for over twenty five years, I have seen the connection between sensual "Christian" music and moral failure; I have witnessed time and time again Christians who could not find fredom from moral failure until they destroyed their sensual "Christian" music. I have also received feedback from Christians who, after walking with the Lord for a time, fell back into an immoral lifestyle after they returned to their old, sensual "Christian" music. This new book, <em>Music and Morals</em>, will not only be of help to pastors and counselors, but to to every Christian family that desires to raise godly children."<br /> <br />                                              <strong>--Dr. Jim Logan<br />                                              International Center for Biblical Counseling of Iowa, Inc.</strong>

  Charlotte held on fast to the architrave of the doorway for support; she felt
  sick, she could taste the salmon as it repeated over and over again, the
  entire meal threatening to decorate the plush red carpet beneath her Vera Wang
  heels. To see it, to actually witness it, to watch him prepare the way for his
  later seduction was just too painful; each movement, each beat of the music
  was like a surgeon’s knife expertly filleting its way around her already
  damaged heart…’
