Amy Grant is a bona fide pop star with roots of gospel. As one of the biggest-selling recording artists in gospel music history, she's made the sectarian leap to mainstream "pop gospel" - but not without a fight. Grant has learned that success doesn't come easily, or directly. Despite the Grammys, numerous Dove awards, and the throngs of devoted fans, Grant has had to live with often conflicting loyalties to her career and her spiritual beliefs. As the most glorious symbol of the new Christian woman - tough, liberated, ready to admit her mistakes - Grant is not content to sugarcoat the trials of her life. She has knowingly planted her feet on two antagonistic grounds: secular and religious, commandeering her conflicted position head-on, with warmth and grace.

Interesting, but not outstanding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Amy Grant: The Life of a Pop Star (Paperback)
Because I am a fan of Amy Grant, I like to read anything written about her. This book gives a good back ground for how the industry of Contempory Christian Music evolved into the big business it is today. However, I sometimes got lost in the details of the different religions and history of the churches. Since it is unauthorized, there wasn't much written that I didn't already know-being a long-time fan. The book does re-inforce her rock-steady faith and love for God. Overall, the book gives a good chronilogical view of how Amy got into the business and made it what it is today
