Paperback. Condition: Good. "Steve Turner is a tough-minded poet with an ear for the psalms, an eye for the miracles in the mundane and an understanding of how despair can break the ground for joy to take root. The story of 'Amazing Grace' is just that: a gospel song with out any of the big-grinning cheesiness often found in that genre. As a musician, I am often struck by the phrase 'sweet the sound'as in 'Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)'. I love to think music can be an instrument of grace.that there might be mercy in melody and that at the very least a great song can fill the silence of indifference we sometimes find in our hearts." -Bono From acclaimed music writer Steve Turner, an unprecedented and illuminating study of this inspirational hymn Behind our most beloved hymn is a fascinating story spanning continents, cultures, and centuries. Inspired by the way this piece of music continues to live and grow, acclaimed writer Steve Turner traces "Amazing Grace" from the composition of its lyrics by former slave trader John Newton, to its current status as the most popular hymn in America. John Newton had been rescued from Africa by a merchant ship when, during an 11-hour storm on the Atlantic, he began his conversion to Christianity.

With in-depth research and personal interviews with recording artists, Amazing Grace is a thorough and illuminating musical history--as well as a source of comfort and inspiration at a time when America is rediscovering its spirituality and its tradition.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Imagine art that is risky, complex, and subtle. Imagine music, movies, books, and paintings of the highest quality. Imagine art that permeates society, challenging conventional thinking and standard morals to their core. Imagine that it is all created by Christians This is the bold vision of Steve Turner, who has worked among a wide variety of artists for decades. He believes Christians should confront society and the church using art's powerful impact. Art can faithfully chronicle the lives of ordinary people and express the transcendence of God. And Christians should be involved in every level of the art world and in every medium. In this revised and expanded edition of a contemporary classic, Turner builds a compelling case for Christians in the arts. If Jesus is Lord of all of life and creation, then art is part of his cultural mandate. It can and should be a way of expressing faith through creatively, beautifully, and truthfully arranged words, sounds, and sights. Now includes study questions for individual reflection or group discussion.…
