Called by the Composer: Devotions for Musicians

Across 60 meditations, Nancy Bell Kimsey brings Scripture into conversation with the shared work of creating music. Each entry combines a Bible passage with a music-related vignette, practical application, and prayer, linking the experience of rehearsing and performing with reflections on faith. The collection’s examples span bands, choirs, musical theatre casts, orchestras, and other musical groups, while its subject also extends to people who simply enjoy a melody. This structure gives the book a clear point of connection between musical practice and Christian devotional reading, with attention to both the joys and challenges of making music as a group.
