Go Big or Go Home

Go Big or Go Home; The Journey Toward the Dream by Scotty McCreery is a fun read. It chronicles his life as a young child who worshiped Elvis to his journey to become an American Idol winner to launching a career as a Country Music singer. He won American Idol in 2011 at the age of seventeen.

     I have never watched American Idol but I am a fan of the VOICE so this book was particularly interesting. I am also not a fan of Country Music but I still really enjoyed the story.

     Scotty McCreery is a very devout Christian and he shares with us how that faith helped him get through some struggles as he made his way through the American Idol experience. He tells us how the Scriptures he read and the life lessons he learned helped him become the man he is today. His family was a huge support for him.

     Reading the book makes you feel like you really know Scotty and he’s talking to you. His life story makes you believe that with love, faith and family anything is possible. He had a dream to become a famous Country Artist and he persevered until that dream came true. He has had four Top 15 radio hits, has toured with Brad Paisley (he tells about that in the book) and Rascal Flatts, headlined his own tour and won the ACM New Artist of the Year Award all by the time he was twenty-two.

     This is an inspirational book that I highly recommend. It would make a great gift for any fan of Scotty McCreery.
