  Ellington and Armstrong: The...

  Louis Armstrong once claimed that “Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine—I look right in the heart of good old New Orleans…It has given me something to live for.” This statement conjures an image which most anyone familiar with jazz music can recall: Armstrong clutching his trumpet forcefully, his eyes closed in a manner that distances him from his physical surroundings in favor of a perfect harmony between the man and his instrument. As Armstrong alludes to in this remark, this connection also speaks to the enduring influence of his New Orleans background, which informed his musical style and indeed continued to live on through his music. To be sure, while performing, Armstrong appeared lost in a reverie, a condition that imbued his performances with a kind of mythical flair, as if one were watching a man consumed by a moment of transcendence. In other words, if the music of Louis Armstrong produced an emotional response in the listener, this invariably paled in comparison with the deep, organic pathos he was able to produce through his music.  
  In 1956, Duke Ellington was featured on the cover of Time Magazine after a bravura performance at the Newport Jazz Festival that summer. This remains one of his most iconic achievements, and a landmark for jazz music as a whole (only four jazz musicians were ever displayed on the cover of Time). At the same time, however, this recognition stands as one of the prevailing ironies of Ellington’s career, as he was deep into the latter stages of his performing life by this point. Indeed, there is a way in which everything that Ellington had done up to that point in his career was obscured. Put differently, it is misleading to recognize Duke simply for his accomplished performance at the festival, as one could justifiably argue that he transformed the very nature of jazz (both its stylistic qualities and its cultural identity) in his career up until this point.

  In this book, Pastor Craig tackles a raw and deeply personal issue that many of us face: How do I find the strength and faith to start over after experiencing one of life’s toughest challenges? He refers to these moments as “life-altering events.” To shed light on this topic, Pastor Craig examines the lives, experiences, and lessons of four well-known biblical figures: Job, Ruth, the Samaritan woman (also known as the Woman at the Well), and Mary of Magdala. You’ll quickly realize that these biblical heroes are not so different from many of us. Their inspiring stories of overcoming the unimaginable, with God’s help, will motivate you to embark on your own journey of renewal. Pastor Craig also addresses contemporary challenges such as divorce, church hurt, betrayal, molestation, and the process of rebuilding your professional reputation after a career disaster. Prepare yourself for an impactful journey. It is Pastor Craig’s prayer that you see your own struggles reflected in these characters’ stories and that you find the divine healing and guidance from our Lord Jesus Christ to help you start over and live a victorious, renewed life.
