The Master Musician: Meditations on Jesus

Short Review: This is a very short devotional. Less than 100 page and if read straight through could easily be read in less than two hours.

I have heard a number of devotionals about music while I was a musician at a Christian college. So many of the ideas of this book were not particularly new.

Talbot talks about the crafting of an instrument and compares that to our spiritual growth as a Christian. He talks about the different styles of music or different ways people gather together as musicians to play are related to the body of Christ. He talks about Jesus as conductor and musician.

These ideas I think are helpful to see another facet of our Christian life.

Overall, this is well written. I like Talbot and his Catholic background and his ability to write to Protestants without a lot of misunderstanding. My main reason for 3 stars and not higher is the fact that I have heard almost all of this in other venues.
