Synopsis

On dit que les légendes sont les individus qui dépassent les limites de l'expérience humaine moyenne. Ces âmes spéciales laissent des empreintes éternelles dans le cœur même de l'observateur occasionnel, et leur message reste intemporel. Les livres d'histoire regorgent d'histoires sur ces personnes remarquables. Alors que certains de ces leaders dynamiques n'affectent que leur génération, d'autres naissent pour l'éternité. Arthur Lee Crume Sr. est un tel homme.

Arthur est le propriétaire, le gestionnaire et le plus ancien membre actif du très acclamé Soul Stirrers' Gospel Quartet. Les historiens annoncent ce groupe comme le plus grand quatuor de l'histoire de la musique gospel. Les talents musicaux d'Arthur l'ont catapulté et l'ont maintenu au sommet de son domaine pendant plusieurs décennies. Bien qu'il ait apprécié toute l'attention et les éloges qu'il a reçus, il avait un problème grave. Arthur n'avait pas de relation personnelle avec le Dieu dont il chantait. Toute la notoriété et la renommée ont caressé son ego déjà gonflé et l'ont amené à devenir encore plus égocentrique. Ses mauvais choix et ses appétits charnels ont marqué la vie de ceux qui l'aimaient le plus, laissant les cœurs brisés jonchés le long de l'autoroute de la vie. Mais Dieu, riche en miséricorde, n'a jamais abandonné Arthur.

Arthur est né et a grandi dans les champs de coton du Missouri. Tout comme Jésus a enseigné à Ses disciples à travers des paraboles - des histoires terrestres avec des significations célestes - la plante de coton détenait une vérité spirituelle pour Arthur. Cette plante ressemblant à un buisson reflétait sa vie. S'ils sont correctement nourris, les deux abritaient les composants nécessaires pour éventuellement produire des fruits mûrs. Tout comme la graine de coton, un miracle devait avoir lieu pour que l'obscurité soit bannie et que le semis puisse percer le sol dur et atteindre la lumière. Après avoir éclaté à travers le sol, la plante tendre serait exposée aux vents violents et au sable soufflé. Reflété par les luttes de la vie d'Arthur, on trouve une image de la rédemption éventuelle d'Israël.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Although Donna grew up in a typical American family, her family roots were deeply steeped in prejudice against Blacks, Jews, Native Americans and just about anyone else who seemed different. The problem of prejudice reached back as far as the Civil War. Donna led a troubled life during her early adult years, prompting her to rededicate her life to Jesus Christ when she was twenty-six. In 2002, she founded He Knows My Name, a Christian ministry that takes the gospel to millions of people around the world. Donna has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the world, with one of those destinations being Rwanda. In 2006, Donna found Emmanuel, a small orphan child who had been living in the Rwanda brush. Emmanuel, a child of the post-genocide generation, was dying. Donna and her husband Ray were moved to adopt him as their own. Both Donna and her husband are white, but quickly learned the pain of prejudice and racism through the desolation their younger son Emmanuel had endured. Out of a pure love for Jesus, Donna accepted the challenge to write the true story of Arthur Lee Crume Sr. so the truth of the gospel would reign.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Legends are said to be those individuals who soar above the limitations of the average human experience. These special souls leave eternal footprints in the hearts of even the casual observer, and their message remains timeless. History books are full of stories about these remarkable people. While some of these dynamic leaders affect only their generation, others are birthed for the purposes of eternity. Arthur Lee Crume Sr. is such a man. Arthur is the owner, manager and longest active member of the widely acclaimed Soul Stirrers' Gospel Quartet. Historians herald this group as the greatest quartet in the history of gospel music. Arthur's musical talents catapulted and held him at the top of his field for several decades. Although he enjoyed all the attention and accolades he received, he had one serious problem. Arthur did not have a personal relationship with the God he was singing about. All the notoriety and fame stroked his already inflated ego and caused him to become even more self-absorbed. His poor choices and fleshly appetites scarred the lives of those who loved him the most, leaving broken hearts littered along life's highway. But God, who is rich in mercy, never gave up on Arthur.
