    In this book, we take an in-depth look at church sound systems. We consider the various components, how to position them, and how to operate them correctly. Whether or not the congregation hears the words, depends on the person operating the equipment. An untrained sound operator can hold back a congregation from moving into praise and worship. They can even prevent the listener from receiving the gospel, or healing. Bad sounds, loud sounds, inaudible sounds, or bad mixes will not be readily accepted by the human ear. From personal experience, the Author can assure you that only words and music arriving pleasantly to the ear will go easily into the heart. Most churches in the world today are using untrained sound people. They encourage willing church members from within their congregation. This book was initially written for them, however, christian musicians and ministers everywhere are welcoming the publication.
