Two worlds. One movement. Two fellowships. One body. It's time for a family reunion.

The Other Side of the Keyboard. What does that mena? The keyboard is the instrument that separates two distinct fellowships--the Churches of Christ and the Christian Churches.

Of the few books written on the subject of instrumental music in worship, most take a negative approach to the use of instruments.  The Other Side of the Keyboard is different because Milt Jones has had a change in his beliefs.  He once had the conviction that instrumental music was wrong, but no longer holds that opinion.  Join him as he shares the journey he's made--you'll discover that he is passionate about both sides of the keyboard.

No matter what your predisposition, Milt Jones is on your side, as long as it's the side of the cross.

"For people who are tired of vicious debates or who have grown weary of decades of silence, Milton Jones offers a readable and sensitive look at the issue of instrumental worship.  This is not an attempt to persuade anyone to discard his or her convictions.  It is simply an invitation for greater dialogue and respect among members of a shared heritage.  This humble, courageous reflection is needed in a time when people in all of our churches are yearning to experience greater unity for the sake of our witness.  I am convinced that church leaders and members from 'both sides of the keyboard' will benefit greatly from this long-overdue work."
