This book is 56 reflections from leading Country Music Stars such as Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Wynonna and Brad Paisley, to name a few. Each Star was asked to give their favorite Bible verse. Then each gave a reflection of why they chose that particular verse and how it is meaningful in their lives. It was interesting because sometimes we think of Country Music as always a tune about drinking, divorce or cheating on your spouse. So it’s refreshing to hear that these performers can sing about these things but that God is number one in their lives.
The book is really easy reading. The reflections are very short, mostly just a paragraph or two. I read the whole book in one sitting. I kind of wish I had slowed down and read one a day and then took some time to reflect on each. It was interesting to me to see which verse was picked by each performer. Many times the verse was one that I found heartfelt too.
In the back of the book the gospel of Mark has been provided. The book says it is the shortest of the gospels so it’s a good place to start in coming up with your own favorite Bible verse.
I would recommend this book to everyone. You don’t need to listen to Country music to appreciate the insight given by these artists. However, it is a little more fun to read because they are famous.
(I was given this book to review by HarperCollins Christian Publishing. All opinions are my own.)
