 Sad true story of a man many thought was living a dream. June 25, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
My heart went out to Michael as I read this book. At every point in his life when he should have felt on top of everything he was overcome by other problems bringing him down to rock bottom. Just to imagine the wealth and fame that he once had dwindled to nothing as he was reduced to looking for drugs to get through the day while the dogs in his home were not even let out! He did become a Prodigal and while on a drug high, God spoke to him to bring him to his senses. God was not finished with Michael, and gave him not just a second chance, but a sixth, seventh, even a thousandth chance perhaps. Those struggling with addictions or adultery should read this book. I have always loved his singing and knew of some of his publicized problems but never realized what he really went through.
Great story of failure and forgiveness June 2, 2007

I don't usually read many books, but I couldn't help but finish this one. Michael English was a very successful Christian singer, but Satan used that against him and caused him to fall into a web of lust, adultery, drug abuse and other sins. Michael's book is an honest account of all of those things and how God is always there waiting for us to fall back into His loving arms of grace and forgiveness, which Michael did. As a reward, God gave Michael a fresh start in his career, and his family life is better than ever. Michael admits that it's not an easy battle when you're climbing uphill, but God is still holding Michael's hand and this time Michael has no intentions of letting go. I applaud him for having the courage to share his story with the world.
God's amazing grace May 16, 2007

I am almost finished with this book, & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Michael's story is a perfect example of "there but for the grace of God go I." We as Christians are still sinners, & this story shows that none of us are immune to Satan's attempt to derail our lives, but God's forgiveness and redemption are real, folks! Amen!
A good read May 13, 2007

The bio was well written: I couldn't put it down. Here is a real guy being real amoungst so much pain and controversy. Not for those without a log in their eye.

This book has provided me with hope. It shows me that this superstar is no different from you or I - either in our vulnerabilities, or our need for a redeeming God to infect our lives .. on a DAILY basis. Praise God for Michael English & for this book.
