Doyle Dykes is one of the premier fingerstyle guitarists in the world. When guitar great Chet Atkins was asked a few years ago who he'd pay money to go see, his answer was, "People like Doyle Dykes, who is just an amazing fingerpicker, I think." He has thrilled secular and church audiences all over the world, from the Grand Ole Opry to Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, England (home of the some of the most famous rock concerts in history) to Shanghai, China; James' Burton's International Guitar Festival, Saddleback Community Church, and Harvest Christian Fellowship. But this book isn't just about his life as a guitar player. Infused into stories like how he was invited to be part of the Stamps Quartet (Elvis' backup band), why a white rose is on the headstock of his signature-model guitar, and how his worst night at the Opry turned out to be anything but, are accounts of the remarkable ways God has shown up in Doyle's life. His warm, engaging style will draw you into each chapter--and you'll finish the book having been inspired, feeling like Doyle is a new friend, and never viewing God the same way again. Includes DVD with music & interviews.

Compiled from his private papers, it includes notebook entries, short stories, letters never sent, revealing the struggles and victories of a cult icon's life in modern America.
Stroked by God is the poignant, funny, and inspirational story of musician John Bumgardner's rise within the music business, the catastrophic stroke-like event that permanently changed the path he was on, and the power of God's healing and redemption. It is the story of someone who lost everything they had achieved, and regained everything that mattered. John is a virtuoso guitarist, multi-instrument musician, and singer-songwriter, originally from Gastonia, North Carolina. His first major success came when he moved to Nashville, Tennessee and became a guitar player and manager for Paulette Carlson, (founding member of "Highway 101.) But, nearing the height of his career in the music industry, John suffered a devastating medical event with many symptoms of a stroke. This event seriously affected his dexterity and memory to the point he could no longer play his instruments. Many people would have become bitter at losing everything they had worked for their whole lives. But John knew that God was not finished with him yet. Through God's grace, John has not only recovered his ability to play music. He plays better than he ever did before. And today he is also an inventor, inspirational speaker, and author. By sharing his compelling story, John hopes that you too will be Stroked by God.
