1: Brutally honest
When I first got saved (for the 200th time, but this time it took), Michael was my absolute favorite singer. I tried to get my hands on everything I could that he had done. I saw him in concert with First Call, and he sang with such an anointing! When I heard the news, I was devastated. Not for myself, but for him...it showed me once again how someone that seemingly had it all could lose it so quickly. How little did I know until I read this book how much it cost him. I read this book in one sitting, and was just stunned and amazed as I read it, how the emotion poured from each page. What an amazing story of love and forgiveness. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's an amazing ride, from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, and now back on the upswing. Michael had a great singing ministry before, it should be even better now, as I'm sure many people can relate to many of his experiences. God bless him for having the courage to tell his story with such honesty!

2: Wonderful biography
This book is a very open, honest account of Michael English's life. I admire him more than ever after reading it and love how God's love is so redemptive.

3: What a Blessing
I read this book in one day. The story was riveting, heart breaking, and so full of redemption, hope, and grace. I was encouraged, yet again, to read a story of just how far God is willing to go to get us back.

4: Coming Back Home
This is a book that everyone should read. It gives a message of hope. Everyone is tempted in life, but straying from the path you should take, no matter how much you fall from grace, will not keep you crushed and overwhelmed by your decisions forever. You should always know that just like in the Wizard of Oz, there's no place like home and you can go back there!

5: Amazing Story of an Amazing Man
Michael English is not a man that claims to be perfect, strong, or without a past. He is, however, a man that will tell you that the only thing that saved him is Jesus Christ. He's brutally honest in telling how he fell and equally honest in illustrating how he got back up again.
He takes the blame when it's deserved (I think he was incredibly respectful of Lisa. He really realizes that she was a victim) and he gives credit where it's due (Topper Council, Bill Gaither, Michael W. Smith).
It's an excellent read from a very strong man with an ever-growing faith. I've read it twice and get something new out of it each time. Everyone...and I mean everyone...can relate to Michael's story.
