Sinopse

The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Arts and Culture
ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner
For practitioners and fans, jazz expresses the deepest meanings of life. Its rich history and its distinctive elements like improvisation and syncopation unite to create an unrepeatable and inexpressible aesthetic experience. But for others, jazz is an enigma. Might jazz be better appreciated and understood in relation to the Christian faith?
In this volume, theologian and jazz pianist William Edgar argues that the music of jazz cannot be properly understood apart from the Christian gospel, which like jazz moves from deep lament to inextinguishable joy. By tracing the development of jazz, placing it within the context of the African American experience, and exploring the work of jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Edgar argues that jazz deeply resonates with the hope that is ultimately found in the good news of Jesus Christ.

    Christmas has come to Pinecraft in Bestselling Author Shelley Shepard Gray’s Amish Brides of Pinecraft novel . . .  
    When Beverly Overholt’s beloved Orange Blossom Inn is broken into, she’s devastated. The inn has been her whole life since arriving in the quaint Amish vacation town of Pinecraft, Florida. Hoping to repair what’s been lost, Beverly calls Eric Wagler, the inn’s handsome owner. 
    Ever since her fiancé jilted her, Beverly’s been closed off to love. However, with Eric, things feel different. She’s hopeful that their work relationship will turn into something more even if they’re from different worlds. Beverly grew up Amish and is now Mennonite. Eric grew up on the city streets of Philadelphia. How could they ever find common ground? 
    But as Beverly and Eric put the inn back together and prepare for Christmas, the trust—and love—between them grows. Will Christmas bring a second chance for Beverly? And if it does, will she be brave enough to take it?

Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Gratitude encourages us to grow in trust and joy as we hold tight to God's goodness in life's ups and downs.
    For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups.
