The Secret Chord: Update

Word about The Secret Chord is beginning to spread. The Kindle version of the book now has our first review in which Heather Joy Rowe says it is a highly informative and eye-opening book:

'The writers ... are delving into the arts, mainly looking at the subject from a theological point of view and they have certainly opened my eyes as before reading this book I had a very 'one-dimensional view' of this huge subject.'
