Reactions to the book:

An amazing book! . . . I appreciate the breadth with which you have defined Adventist musician, including entries about Sunny Liu and John Thurber along with those about Virginia-Gene Rittenhouse and Herbert Blomstedt. It is a treasure trove of information about that wondrous and wide variety of people who have contributed to the world of Seventh-day Adventist music. Dr. John McVay, President, Walla Walla University

The biographies are so well written! I have been enjoying reading the few that I have sampled. What a surprise to find a musical bio for my mother bio among them (Virginia Rittenhouse Fagal)! I learned a few things from that one that I had not known before.

Thanks again for all the good work on these biographies. Together they are a monumental resource for the church . . . William Fagal, Associate Director, Ellen G. White Estate
