P H Y Art that heals wounded hearts, music that obliterates barriers these are lofty ambitions, indeed. Yet such is the vision of internationally renowned spiritual leader, pastor, author and now recording impresario Bishop T. D. Jakes. One of my goals has always been to be a bridge between races and cultures and denominations.
Music is a wonderful way to bridge the gaps that exist in our society.
One of the fruits of that vision is The Storm is Over, the debut project from Dexerity Sounds, Jakes' newly-formed joint venture with EMI Gospel. An uplifting and joyful collection, Storm was recorded over two nights in December at Jakes' newly constructed 8,000-seat Potter's House church in Dallas, Texas. In addition to the critically acclaimed Potter's House Mass Choir, the recording features such special guests as gospel powerhouse Donnie McClurkin and renowned vocalist Beverly Crawford. To a person who has meant to be a musical expression of what the Potter's House on TV or read our books, they will hear that message put to music. The message is an overwhelmingly positive one, emphasizing the unity, healing, and hope found through faith in Jesus Christ.
