Wonderful Book, July 25, 2007
This review is from: It's All About Him: Finding the Love of My Life (Hardcover)
I got this book yesterday and finished it before finally going to bed.
I laughed, I cried and I cheered for this amazing woman who was telling
her very personal story of not only her private life, but her journey with
God. Unlike Denise, I was not raised in the church, but have been searching for a way to connect with god. By reading this account of
her life and marriage, I feel like I found a start at that connection.
I've long admired Alan Jackson's talent, and have admired the fact that
these two were able to put their marriage back together after their
much publicized separation almost a decade ago. But, this book provided
me with a new appreciation for the woman "behind" the man. I'm glad
that Alan realized, before it was too late, what a prize he had.
Although this book is largely about God, it is not presented in a heavy
handed or difficult to follow way. By sharing her personal story as
she has, Denise allows those of us that are searching for the kind
of peace she has found with god, to at least chart a path on our
own journey.
I highly recommend this book.

Honest and Encouraging, July 31, 2007
This review is from: It's All About Him: Finding the Love of My Life (Hardcover)
This is a unique, encouraging book. In a world where celebrity divorces and family breakdowns happen all the time, it's pretty cool to see a famous marriage that has been pulled out of the fire.
Denise is honest and humble in telling the Jackson's story, admitting her faults and mistakes, and it makes the lessons that she writes about all the more compelling.
Also, it's worth mentioning that the book contains a CD with two songs by Alan: "It's All About Him" and "That's the Way." I think this book is the only place to get them right now.

Stand By Your Man, August 1, 2007
This review is from: It's All About Him: Finding the Love of My Life (Hardcover)
If you've ever been in love and almost lost it, if your heart resonates to the honest emotion of country western songs, if you've loved and lost and hope to love again, read this book written by a country western star who's sung about it and lived it herself.
The authors have written a story of hope, heartache, renewal, God's grace, and love conquers all. This book is written straight from the heart and I suspect it will deeply touch yours.
It's always inspiring to read of a couple who falter and then right themselves again, and who are still around as a couple 10 years later, to talk about it. If you've ever really loved someone, this book will ring true for you.
This book is highly recommended.
