What People Are Saying About Jesus' Chairs...
"Practical and realistic, Jesus' Chairs
is a smart read for anyone with aspirations of becoming
a Christian songwriter. With an impressive career in Christian
music, Robert Sterling writes from experience with authority.
And he has pulled together great commentary from some of the
best writers in Christian music. If you're serious about being
a Christian songwriter this book will provide you with a firm
foundation. While this book is written with beginning songwriters
in mind, there is plenty here that some of us veteran writers
can use. I highly recommend Jesus' Chairs
to anyone who writes, wants to write, or simply loves to listen
to Christian music."

insights into the motives and heart of great songwriting,
right down to his technical 'how-tos' on rhyme schemes and
memorable melodies, Jesus' Chairs
is a learning tool that no aspiring songwriter can afford
to miss. A great read and powerful learning experience!"

a song ever had. I am glad that his passionate, consistent
