Amy Grant's Mosaic

Thanks to WaterBrook Press, I have three copies of Amy Grant's Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far to give away. Read on...

Mosaic is a collection of writings by Amy Grant, a very different kind of autobiography. Within this book you'll find poetry and song lyrics and beautiful prose. Tales of trips to see the ocean and of horseback rides with her daughter and so much more. This is a book you can dip into for brief amounts of time. As it says on the back cover, this book "presents a captivating collection of beautiful reflections on life, love, and faith." I have really enjoyed spending time with Amy through this book, and I'm delighted to recommend it to others.

Here's the official blurb and bio:

Grammy Award–winning artist Amy Grant has lived in the spotlight since bursting onto the Christian music scene as a teenager thirty years ago. In that time her work, marriage, and spiritual life have been subject to varying degrees of adulation and criticism.

Now, in her first autobiographical book, Grant bares her heart and soul, giving readers an intimate glimpse into her everyday life and the lessons she’s learning along the way. From lighthearted reminiscences of her Tennessee childhood to painfully honest reflections on the journey of faith, her vivid writing draws readers into her world while simultaneously creating space for them to rethink their own perspectives on life.

With honesty and depth, Grant offers poignant and often startling insights on motherhood, marriage, friendship, faith, loss, forgiveness, and redemption. Never-before-shared stories about her husband, country music star Vince Gill, provide a look into her life as a celebrity, while intimate portraits of her mother and musings on the past reveal the various pieces of a life blessed with jagged edges as well as vivid colors. Readers will find their preconceived notions of this music icon stripped away as they settle in for a warmly satisfying conversation with a gracious and wise friend.

Amy Grant is the best-selling Christian music artist of all time and the first to garner the number one spot on Billboard’s chart. Since beginning her career at age 17, she has earned six Grammy Awards and twenty-five Dove Awards, and last year she received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Grant’s numerous television appearances include Oprah; Good Morning, America; and Late Night with David Letterman. In 2007 she’ll tour nationwide, performing with local symphonies in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and elsewhere.

I would love to win a copy of this book. My daughter and I have enjoyed Amy Grant's music for a long time. Due to budget constraints, we try to trade for our books, and it would be nice to get a NEW one. :)

[Michelle]

i love your books.
who are some of your favorite fiction authors?

[Christina Sanyo]

I am interested to be in the drawing for Amy Grant's book.

[Robin Lee Hatcher]

Michelle, I know so many fiction authors whose works I love that it is hard to name favorites. Francine Rivers inspires me both as a novelist and as a Christian. Knowing that I will leave out lots of great authors and books, here are just a few: Tamera Alexander, James Scott Bell, Kristin Billerbeck, Athol Dickson, Tom Morrisey, Colleen Coble, Deborah Raney, Deborah Bedford, Angela Hunt, BJ Hoff, Liz Curtis Higgs, Lisa Samson, Tricia Goyer, Brandilyn Collins, and lots of others. Which author's book I pick up often depends upon the mood I'm in. Do I want a romantic suspense or a sweeping historical or a light hearted romance or chick lit or something more literary in tone or a legal thriller? I have those choices and more with the writers (some named here and many not named) whose books are on my shelf.
