About this ebook

Legends are said to be those individuals who soar above the limitations of the average human experience. These special souls leave eternal footprints in the hearts of even the casual observer, and their message remains timeless. History books are full of stories about these remarkable people. While some of these dynamic leaders affect only their generation, others are birthed for the purposes of eternity. Arthur Lee Crume Sr. is such a man.

Arthur is the owner, manager and longest active member of the widely acclaimed Soul Stirrers Gospel Quartet. Historians herald this group as the greatest quartet in the history of gospel music. Arthurs musical talents catapulted and held him at the top of his field for several decades. Although he enjoyed all the attention and accolades he received, he had one serious problem. Arthur did not have a personal relationship with the God he was singing about. All the notoriety and fame stroked his already inflated ego and caused him to become even more self-absorbed. His poor choices and fleshly appetites scarred the lives of those who loved him the most, leaving broken hearts littered along lifes highway. But God, who is rich in mercy, never gave up on Arthur.

Author

Donna J. Bosn

Although Donna grew up in a typical American family, her family roots were deeply steeped in prejudice against Blacks, Jews, Native Americans and just about anyone else who seemed different. The problem of prejudice reached back as far as the Civil War. Donna led a troubled life during her early adult years, prompting her to rededicate her life to Jesus Christ when she was twenty-six. In 2002, she founded He Knows My Name , a Christian ministry that takes the gospel to millions of people around the world. Donna has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the world, with one of those destinations being Rwanda. In 2006, Donna found Emmanuel, a small orphan child who had been living in the Rwanda brush. Emmanuel, a child of the post-genocide generation, was dying. Donna and her husband Ray were moved to adopt him as their own. Both Donna and her husband are white, but quickly learned the pain of prejudice and racism through the desolation their younger son Emmanuel had endured. Out of a pure love for Jesus, Donna accepted the challenge to write the true story of Arthur Lee Crume Sr. so the truth of the gospel would reign.
