Synopsis

A painfully honest story of human weakness and God's unending forgiveness.Thirteen years ago, amidst scandal, sin, and shattered lives, Michael English fell from the pinnacle of the Christian music world. In 1994, newspapers around the world blared the headline, "Gospel Singer Named Artist of the Year Turns in His Awards After Confirming He Had an Affair with a Fellow Married Singer." From 1994 to 2002 Michael English's life went from bad to worse. Public shame, divorce, broken relationships, drug addiction, even homelessness. But in 2002, God reached out and rescued Michael from himself. Today Michael is whole again, and in this book he tells his story of redemption.

Goodreads review by Bonnie on November 09, 2017

This is a GOD thing I have listened to Southern Gospel all of my life. I grew up on the same “soundtrack” as Michael and I understand the dynamics of Christians who claim the faith vs. those who walk the faith. When reading the reviews on this book, one reviewer called the book bad... I wanted to rea......more
