Steve, (in reference to The Path of Life Daily Devotions)
As a former English teacher, I would just like to post that I enjoy your writings every day for several reasons. They always start with a strong thesis statement and then follow and explain it throughout. The entire writing is cohesive and coherent, which makes it easy to follow and to understand for anyone who chooses to read it for his/her spiritual welfare for the day. …Your paragraphs flow easily from one to the next with ease, gently taking the reader from one point to the next, which allows us to want to continue reading until the end. Well done!! I like your order of writing and that you end with the hymn. It speaks well of your knowledge of music and helps us to remember a good deal of our knowledge of it as well. Your entire piece of writing is done in a pleasing, gentle manner and I assure you, many of us enjoy it daily. Durinda Gordon Gammil, Retired Writing Teacher

Bring Dr. Phifer in!  He does a great job and your people will be blessed! Pastor Larry D. Richmond, Family Worship Center, Brazil, IN

Dr. Stephen Phifer is the consummate pastoral musician. Throughout his multi-faceted ministry career he has served as worship leader, arranger, conductor, author, professor and, perhaps more relevant, distinguished mentor. He is widely regarded for his presence on social media. That said, I would like to emphasis not only his prolific scholarship but his care and concern for our fellow guides into the presence of the LORD. Clearly Dr. Phifer understands the Biblical presupposition, “Its not by might not by power, but by the Spirit,” says the Lord of Hosts. I urge you to check out his writings for they will not only enrich your life but augment your ministry effectiveness. Tom McDonald, Ph.D. Los Angeles, CA

Dr. Steve Phifer is an accomplished musician and gifted teacher, with a deep insight into Biblical concepts of worship.
