My new book on Johnny Cash is out. It’s called “Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon”. Why write a book about Cash? The answer is Johnny was a man so much like us. Sinners thought he was as saint, and saints thought he was a sinner. In fact, Johnny Cash was both. . . . Just like we are. He once said, “Sometimes I am two people- Johnny is the nice one, and Cash causes al the trouble. They fight”. Johnny Cash did struggle as a follower of Jesus, but his faith was strong, all the way to the end. If you struggle as a believer, if you want to read a story of how God can turn a mess into a message, you ought to read this new book. It would be a great gift for a prodigal son or daughter as well. Johnny Cash was a prodigal at times, but he always returned home. Home to his faith. And now, because he put his trust in Christ Johnny is at home with the Lord.
