Celebrating 20 Years In America Under Grace

The details of my life are not in this book but the most important thing and the main thing about the grace of God is written in this book. You will be amazed at how God works miraculously to put you in the part of victory even when you are at your lowest point. When you think, you are done, then you realize that God is not done with you. He orchestrates ways, things and events behind the scene to work out on your behalf. God has a plan in your life just as He has good plans for my life. The reason behind writing this book is to fulfil the very reason I was called for, and ordained for by God. As you read this book you will discover that there are no accidents in life but only divine appointments.

Music in the Post-9/11 World addresses the varied and complex roles music has played in the wake of September 11, 2001. Interdisciplinary in approach, international in scope, and critical in orientation, the twelve essays in this groundbreaking volume examine a diverse array of musical responses to the terrorist attacks of that day, and reflect upon the altered social, economic, and political environment of "post-9/11" music production and consumption. Individual essays are devoted to the mass-mediated works of popular musicians such as Bruce Springsteen and Darryl Worley, as well as to lesser-known musical responses by artists in countries including Afghanistan, Egypt, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, and Senegal. Contributors also discuss a range of themes including the role played by Western classical music in rites of mourning and commemoration, "invisible" musical practices such as the creation of television news music, and implicit censorship in the mainstream media. Taken as a whole, this collection presents powerful evidence of the central role music has played in expressing, shaping, and contesting worldwide public attitudes toward the defining event of the early twenty-first century.
