What is the purpose of music in worship? How can music help us fulfill our prophetic mission of proclaiming the Gospel to all the world? Are there guidelines from the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy to help us know how to use music in a way that will bless and not confuse worshippers?

These questions and others are addressed in Funciones de la Musica en la Iglesia Adventista del Septimo Dia (The Functions of Music in the Seventh-day Adventist Church), by J. Francisco Stout Villalón Throughout the North and Inter-American Divisions of our church, an urgent cry has come from local congregations for guidance on the use of music in our worship services. The instructions given in this book are the result of years of experience, effort, and research in the field of music direction and performance in light of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy. It is the hope of the author that this book will help believers find in music a powerful means of fulfilling our mission of proclaiming the Gospel of eternal salvation to all the world.
