  He was the King of Rockabilly, and one of rock and roll's true pioneers. A groundbreaking guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Carl Perkins inspired countless musicians in country, rock, and pop music. Now acclaimed music writer Jeff Apter recounts Carl Perkins's remarkable life story—the triumphs, tragedies, and career highlights that include some of the most pivotal moments in music history. 
   
   
   
  Born in Tennessee to poor sharecroppers, Carl grew up listening to gospel and country music, learned blues guitar from a fellow field hand, and started writing songs at age fourteen. He plied his trade in rowdy honky-tonks, performing with his brothers before beginning his recording career at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis. It was there that Carl became a member of the fabled Million Dollar Quartet, alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1955, he wrote and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes," the first record by a Sun artist to sell over a million copies. But then a fateful car crash stalled his career, one of many tragedies in Carl's life. Over the following decades, countless artists performed and recorded his songs and became Carl's friends, collaborators, and champions. Rich with insider detail and background into Carl's private battles, humanitarian work, and personal inspirations, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at his one-of-a-kind legacy.

  Making something beautiful in a broken world can be harrowing work, and it can’t be done alone.    Over the last twenty years, Andrew Peterson has performed thousands of concerts, published four novels, released ten albums, taught college and seminary classes on writing, founded a nonprofit ministry for Christians in the arts, and executive-produced a film—all in a belief that God calls us to proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are at our disposal. He’s stumbled along the way, made mistake after mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness in Scripture and the arts.    While there are many books about writing, none deal first-hand with the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity. In Adorning the Dark, Andrew describes six principles for the writing life:      serving the work  serving the audience  selectivity  discernment  discipline  community   Through stories from his own journey, Andrew shows how these principles are not merely helpful for writers and artists, but for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation.  This book is both a memoir of Andrew’s journey and a handbook for artists, written in the hope that his story will provide encouragement to others stumbling along in pursuit of a calling to adorn the dark with the light of Christ.

  Emoting

  Emoting is a chapbook that explores the delicate and often overwhelming nature of human emotions through a series of evocative, introspective short-form narratives and poems. Each piece captures a fleeting moment, a spark of feeling, or an emotional truth that lingers long after the reader has read the words. From joy to sorrow, from rage to quiet contemplation, the chapbook delves deep into the nuances of the emotional landscape, challenging readers to confront their own complex inner worlds. 
    
  With stark imagery and raw, unfiltered language, Emoting invites readers to experience the vulnerability and power that comes with expressing the things we often leave unspoken. Through fragmented narratives and moments of stillness, piece after piece illuminates the ways in which we process and navigate our feelings in a world that sometimes demands we keep them hidden. 
    
  At its core, Emoting is a celebration of the emotional spectrum — reminding us that our emotions, however messy or difficult, are what make us human. Each narrative and poem serves as an intimate exploration of what it means to feel deeply and to allow those feelings to shape our lives, even in their most chaotic and untamed forms.
