Hard to read through the tears

Between Heaven & The Real World, My Story by Steven Curtis Chapman with Ken Abraham; 2017; $22.99; 437 pages; Revell, Grand Rapids, MI; 9780800726881; purchased from Lifeway Books, Beaverton; 11/22/19-11/28/19 

We went to a clearance sale at Lifeway books a few months ago and I picked up five or six books.  A few biographies and a few other things.  I already read the Charlie Daniels memoir.
I have been a big fan of SCC for many years and especially a fan of the song The Great Adventure.  I picked this up to find out more about him and see what he had to say.  I think this is one of the most emotionally forthright biographies I have ever read.  He talks about the high points and the low points in his life, his relationship with his wife and with his God.  This family suffered a devastating loss that affected them on so many levels, that they had to regroup and rebuild not only on a physical level but on emotion, spiritual, mental levels.  What they have gone through has had real consequences in their lives.  Growth in their lives and the lives of others has been strengthened, although it has not been in the manner which they wished.  If you want to know the real story of this artist read this, but be prepared to cry.

The day before this was posted I won tickets to see Steven Curtis Chapman in concert this coming Sunday.  I am looking forward to it.
