About this title

Synopsis

How could a Pennsylvania Mennonite farm boy, growing up in the early 1900's, ever dream of becoming a pioneer of instrumental music within the Mennonite church? This is the intriguing story of Joe Clemmer's personal journey to fulfill his unorthodox life calling. What was he to do with this burning desire to use musical instruments as a means of worshipping within a church environment that didn't approve?

Tuning in to his God-given musical destiny through the unlikely influence of a cowboy, Joe eventually became the instructor of guitar, Hawaiian guitar and accordian. His students number in the thousands over a span of sixty years. With instrumental bands of musical sons and daughters, Joe Clemmer conducted many sacred concerts throughout eastern Pennsylvania and beyond. Would the church understand?

More than a biographical drama, this book uses the Joe Clemmer story to illustrate the significance of callings upon family lines. Learn the importance for parents to intentionally pass on their family potential to the next generation.
