Jerry Rasmussen is a keen observer of the details of everyday life. He sees the handiwork of God all around him, and shares his insights through stories and songs. Just as the gospel of Jesus Christ was filled with common folk like fishermen, farmers, carpenters and shepherds, Rasmussen writes of a weary traveler on a Greyhound Bus, honky tonk angels, hoboes, and one-eyed dogs. His writings have the simplicity of parables, and Christ’s teachings are interwoven through his songs. The lyrics and commentary for 11 of the songs that he has written are included in the back of the book.
For the last forty five years, Jerry Rasmussen has been writing and performing folk and gospel songs. He has recorded five CDs, including one with his gospel quartet, The Gospel Messengers.
