Following are some suggested sacred music recordings for those who don’t want their Christian music to sound like something that would be at home in a nightclub.
Please note that we cannot guarantee that all of the music produced by the following organizations and ministries is sound. We publish this list because it is difficult to locate good Christian music and we desire to point the way to some of the music that we have found helpful. It is not possible for us to listen to every single thing that has been produced by the following sources, nor is it possible for us to keep up with every new recording that they publish. Ultimately it is the responsibility of each listener to prove the music by the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We encourage our readers to contact us if some of the music by any of the following sources is found to be worldly.
A more extensive list of helpful sacred music can be found in the report “Helpful Music Resources” at the Way of Life web site www.wayoflife.org/fbns/helpful.htm.

HERBSTER TRIO. This excellent father-son trio has several excellent CDs. The singers are accompanied by orchestral music. Two of their CDs that I particularly like are “Hymns of Grateful Worship” and “Faithful Servant.” Tri-City Ministries, 4500 Little Blue Parkway, Independence, MO 64057, www.herbsterevangelism.org/site/pages/catalog.aspx?fsId=12&returnUrl=catalog.aspx (web), mark@herbsterevangelism.org (e-mail).
HIBBARD, DAVID, 291 Clayton-Aura Rd., Glassboro, NJ 08028. 856-863-4992, hibbardfamilyministries@juno.com or dhibbard@juno.com. An excellent CD is Along Life’s Road: Songs for the Saviour.
HYMNS TRIUMPHANT. There are two volumes of these, each containing dozens of hymns performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the London National Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Amen Choir.

Most of the music produced by Majesty Music is excellent and Ron and Shelly Hamilton are among the most prolific and talented sacred music writers and arrangers alive. The only warning we would give is that we feel that some of the newer Patch the Pirate tapes are moving in a slight contemporary direction. The Majesty Strings series features pleasant background music.
MARSHALL FAMILY, P.O. Box 5264, Astoria, NY 11105. 718-728-4410 (voice), jmarsh777@aol.com (e-mail), www.av1611.org/marshall (web site), www.oldchristianmusic.com/mproductpages/john-marshall-family--watchman.html (for ordering Marshall CDs). The Marshall Family originated many years ago when evangelist John Marshall and his wife trained their children to sing and play instruments at Brother Marshall’s preaching meetings. The children began singing at a young age and demonstrated special talent. The quality of their music has increased greatly over the years and as the children have married and established their own families the Marshall Family has continued to perform and record under a variety of personnel incarnations. While some of the Marshall Family songs are a bit too blue grassy for my taste, they have different styles and I find many of their songs to be lovely and very precious. It appears that the Marshalls or someone associated with them has written a lot of their music, so many of their numbers are unique. They are talented musicians on a wide range of instruments and the harmony on many of the songs, though not “polished,” is glorious. The recording and singing quality of the songs is uneven, but there are lots of jewels scattered throughout their CDs. I recommend the following Marshall Family CDs: “CD Collection #1,” “CD Collection #2,” “CD Collection #3,” “Abide in Me,” “Just for A Moment,” “Stand by God’s Man,” “Under Their Father’s Hand,” and “Watchman.”
MILLER, ABIGAIL. Her music is “a blend of peaceful original songs and old-fashioned hymns, accompanied by an array of instruments, such as the harp, cello, violin, viola, guitar, piano, and flute.” Only available on the internet -- abigailmiller.com/html/amctjpurchase.html

NORTHLAND BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE, W10085 Pike Plains Road, Dunbar, WI 54119. 715-324-6900 (voice), 715-324-6133 (fax), info@nbbc.edu (e-mail), www.nbbc.edu (web site). I especially like “For the Glory of the Lord” and “Holy Is He” by the Northland Baptist Bible College Northern Lights.
