Inspiring and Uplifting,
By Andy Armstrong (Newton, Ms USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forever and Ever, Amen: The Heart-warming Stories Behind the Music of Paul Overstreet (Hardcover)
Paul dives right into the middle of the real world Christian experience, as he shares with the reader the stories behind his family centered songs. He shares the personal journey of his growth in Christ and his growth as a songwriter and performer. The personal accounts of how Paul's songs have affected others show how God can work through, not only His Word, but through the songs of those that love Him. This short book was uplifting and inspirational. It gave new meaning to songs that I have loved. The DVD that is included gives a great visual and audio experience into some of Paul's songs. I am a better person for reading this book. Thanks Paul!!!!

Good Book for a Light Read,
This review is from: Forever and Ever, Amen: The Heart-warming Stories Behind the Music of Paul Overstreet (Hardcover)
This was a good book for some light reading. Nothing deep, but good backstories for some of Paul Overstreet's best songs. The included Video CD (plays in any DVD player) had some great material on it too. I ended up re-selling the book after I read it, but for a die-hard fan it would be a keeper. I miss Paul... he had some great songs. Hopefully he'll come back to the musical scene someday. He could do some great duets with someone like Randy Travis. (Hint, hint, Paul... are you listening?)

Not A Country Music Fan But ...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forever and Ever, Amen: The Heart-warming Stories Behind the Music of Paul Overstreet (Hardcover)
Right up front, I'm not a big fan of Country music, so I wasn't sure I'd find much of interest here. But Paul Overstreet is as real as they get, as human and likeable and authentic as anyone else I know, and that crosses music-taste lines. Often how he wrote a song seems disconnected to how the fans reacted to it, but then, that's life too -- everyone sees something different in the same picture. He certainly has a distinct "flavor" to his music, and when you hear him sing one of his songs made popular by another artist, it adds new dimension. A heart-warming book!
