Showing results for "Jazz" in Religion & Spirituality

Al Jolson, born Asa Yoelson, immigrated from a shtetl in Lithuania to the United States in 1894 after his father secured a job as a rabbi in Washington, D.C. A poor, Yiddish-speaking newcomer navigating a racially segregated and antisemitic America, young Jolson dreamed of becoming a star, and he did. Through Jolson, Bernstein simultaneously breaks open the history and legacy of the cultural sensation The Jazz Singer. Not only was The Jazz Singer the first feature-length film with synchronized music and dialogue, but it was also taboo smashing in its content.

In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

Regardless of our race, sex, ethnicity, color, religion or philosophical beliefs, music is a universal tie that binds us as human beings. Every note a nod to history, every tune a step on the trajectory toward a more compassionate understanding of each other. The world of jazz music during the 1950s and 60s was an industry that reflected the struggles of the Civil Rights Era. And when a White musician enters the big stages and “sounds Black,” attempting to unify the culture of society, it can teeter on cultural treason.

There's so much weird information out there about love. The bulk of it is mostly false. This audiobook begins a brand new road on the lifelong struggle to find, and yes, even keep real, true love! My personal experiences have taught me that love in its purest, raw form is a God-created, God-given force. It has absolutely nothing to do with sex, expensive gifts, beautiful houses, clothes, great shoes, and awesome family gatherings, although these are indeed all small parts of an extremely gigantic puzzle, so it seems!
