I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Hymnody recording by Mark
Anthony Cruz. I appreciate his fine arrangements and playing of them. It is rare
to hear hymn arrangements of this quality.

"Listening to Mark Cruz's playing, I am reminded of the psalmist David, and
his supernatural ability to "calm the troubled spirit" of King Saul.
God works through the talents of Mark Cruz in much the same way. As a professional
musician, I have certain favorite artists I love to listen to. They inspire me
and challenge me to greatness in my craft. Mark is in that league, a true "musician's
musician," and a man after God's own heart." Mark

| "Mark
Anthony Cruz is a gifted and sensitive musician. Whether he is playing gospel
hymns or classics, he expresses the joy of Christianity in a unique way. He has
played at First Baptist church three times and I hope to have him play here again." |

is nothing more beautiful and worshipful than the classical guitar. Mark Anthony
Cruz will be a refreshing addition to any church service. His talent is unsurpassed

concert in our church." | |
