Are you kidding me?

R. J. Stevens
Song Leaders Instructional Set

Is this some sort of scam? Do you see the price tag here? Did Jerry Bruckheimer somehow get involved in this production?

How on earth do you expect someone to pay $130 +$10 shipping for this thing?




Just look at the contents:
two DVD's
a Workbook
a guide to Hymns for Worship
a Dictionary

If we "rightly divide" the $130 among the 5 items, it turns out to this:
$26 = DVD 1
$26 = DVD 2
$26 = Workbook
$26 = Guide to Hymns for Worship
$26 = Dictionary

I can imagine paying $26 for a workbook, but the main reason I never purchased Nova's show on Einstein's Big Idea was because the discs were about $20 each. For crying out loud, I'm sure Song Leader Revolution II won't be this expensive (incidentally, Song Leader Revolution II premiers April 13, 2007).

Whatever happened to going to church in the middle of no where, and learning how to lead singing because you needed to figure it out? Whatever happened to the leadership in the church passing on their learning, skills and experiences to their young? Isn't that what shepherds are supposed to do? I'd be interested to know which section of the country orders more of these Singing Packages. Are more being mailed to Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky? Or are more orders coming from Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota?

sheesh...

p.s. by the by, cassettes are on sale for about $3-7.00
