In this book, Robert L. Stone follows the sound of steel guitar into the music-driven Pentecostal worship of two related churches: the House of God and the Church of the Living God. A rare outsider who has gained the trust of members and musicians inside the church, Stone uses nearly two decades of research, interviews, and fieldwork to tell the story of a vibrant musical tradition that straddles sacred and secular contexts. Most often identified with country and western bands, steel guitar is almost unheard of in African American churches--except for the House of God and the Church of the Living God, where it has been part of worship since the 1930s. Sacred Steel traces the tradition through four generations of musicians and in some two hundred churches extending across the country from Florida to California, Michigan to Alabama. Presenting detailed portraits of musical pioneers such as brothers Troman and Willie Eason and contemporary masters such as Chuck Campbell, Glenn Lee, and Robert Randolph, Stone expertly outlines the fundamental tensions between sacred steel musicians and church hierarchy. In this thorough analysis of the tradition, Stone explores the function of the music in church meetings and its effect on the congregations. He also examines recent developments such as the growing number of female performers, the commercial appeal of the music, and younger musicians' controversial move of the music from the church to secular contexts.

Female leadership has been a topic of debate for centuries between theologians and laity, Christians and non-Christians, as well as men and women. This study will present a theological analysis of the debate concerning male and female roles in leadership positions and ministry. An analysis of the role of the female pastor’s spouse, the effects of sexism in religion, and how it has influenced the ecclesiology of the church will be examined as well. Reflections of case studies employing biblical narratives of couples in the Bible will be used to substantiate the roles of women leaders and their spouses. Each scenario identifies the particular role of the husband and the wife, specifically when the wife is the spiritual leader. Read with anticipation the outcome of biblical interpretation of the roles of the female leader and their spouses.

The Decree Book can logically be divided into four major arenas: church history, theological propositions, organizational structures, and guiding principles. Church history has been and is being collected into a number of documents referred to elsewhere. The documents referred to earlier reflect the second and third major arenas. The present work attempts to bring to fore many aspects of the fourth major arena. The theological propositions are formally stated in "We believe?" or credenda terms. Organizational structures are copious throughout the Decree and range from ecclesiastical and clerical hierarchies, through the gamut of church structures and infrastructures, revenues and expenditures, official meetings and assemblies, discipline, and on into other prominent structural elements of the entity and their relationships to each other. The guiding principles mirror the highly visible "parental exhortations" expected of an experienced leader and "visible head." These principles, while not necessarily indicative of Bible preachments, are nonetheless conceived as wholesome and "safe" principles that will serve to guide future generations and development of the organization.
