This 83 minute audio-book features life stories and ruminations of the pioneering storyteller, minister and educator, Brother Blue. All the text if from my Portrait Series book, Brother Blue: a narrative portrait (Bay Press). Featured selections include A Second Chance, the miraculous story of his father’s desperate attempt to provide for his family during the depression; Angels and War, the untold battle of serving as a black lieutenant in the segregated United States army; Teaching Method, at Harvard Divinity School included breaking chains, bottles, refusing to give grades, and jumping out windows; Inside of me, an internal wrestling match between one white and two black men; plus three other amazing stories. The book, an the outgrowth of years of association between myself and Blue, gives voice to the stories behind the stories, this renowned and original storyteller tells. This recording completes the circle, as Brother Blue breathes life into these words, with his inimitable, soulful voice, so full of character, music, and clarity of purpose.
