Getting to Sing Gospel Meant Getting to Trust the Lord

Gospel stars are not born in Heaven -- they are made through the trials they face on Earth. These are real people who sing this glorious music--and they have overcome many personal problems to get where they are at. This book makes us feel that if we surrender to the Lord we can get to a very high place.

Wonderful book for the holidays

Touched By God touched my heart. The stories about the gospel perfomers and what they went through are really interesting, and made me think of challenges that I've been through in my own life. It is a great book to give to people who love gospel music, which I do!
