Carol Cymbala's ministry in a tough inner-city neighborhood in New York can be summed up in one word: unlikely. A shy girl who struggled through school and never learned to read music, she is the last person you'd expect to stand before a packed house confidently directing The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. But Carol's God is the God of the unlikely. He's Been Faithful is an honest story about the struggles we all face and the power of God to help us. In its pages, we learn that our longings for God are satisfied when we come to him simply, seeking his glory rather than ours, telling him and the world around us about the great things he has done. "For the throngs of folks like me who've been blessed by Carol's music, the release of her book is good news. May these pages warm hearts and touch lives."--Max Lucado… (more)

I've been a fan of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir for several years. When I stumbled across this book in our public library, I knew that I had to read it. In its pages, Cymbala tells of the call she and her husband had to ministry -- first in New Jersey and then to Brooklyn. She recounts God's faithfulness in the ministry of the Brooklyn Tabernacle to those in Brooklyn by sharing testimonies of what God has done in and through the church and also by sharing testimonies of various persons who have been reached by its ministry. Probably my favorite part of the book was when she recounted the circumstances in her life that led her to write one of the most powerful songs in Gospel music, "He's Been Faithful." I'm sure that I will later recall many of the testimonies recorded in these pages, including the one about the song's birth, for many years to come. (
