WBPG Blog Tour: Mosaic by Amy Grant (and a giveaway!)

I just finished reading Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far by Amy Grant. This autobiography is one of the most interesting and easy to read autobiographies I have ever read. Often autobiographies start with I was born...then I ...then I...

But Amy choses to dip her pen into different parts of her life in no particular order. She shared memories of important times in her life and by doing it this way, she revealed not just the facts of her life, but she revealed a lot of her inner self. The book is also full of her songs. She shares an anecdote, then shares a song that was either inspired by that event or that relates to that event. If you love Amy Grant's music, you will particularly enjoy that part of this interesting autobiography. And for those of you who want the facts in order, don't worry, they are there too, in the back of the book and cover about 14 pp of the 222 page book.
There are 8 pages of color photos.

If you ever have ever wondered about the people who raised Amy Grant and helped to mold her into the inspirational person she is today, read the two quotes below: they speak volumes.

"Life is made up of golden chances, opportunities to do good. One lost is lost forever. If we miss doing a kindness to a friend, we can never do that kindness again. If we might speak a pleasant word, or offer a bit of worthwhile counsel or advice and fail to do so, we can never have that opportunity again. Giving is a way of life." - A. M. Burton (1879-1966) (Amy's Great-Grandfather)

"The life which gives multiplies itself; the life which absorbs destroys itself and others. All nature is built upon the plan of giving. The sun gives its light and heat, the bird its song, the lilac its odor, the orchard yields its fruit for the good of man, the field its grain for the same purpose. If a man is not a giver, he is out of harmony with his surroundings. If he makes a dead sea of himself, he becomes fatal to anything that seeks life from him." - A. M. Burton (1879-1966)

Amy came from a family of giving people and she is a giving person herself. Take some time and dip into her story, learn her thoughts and be inspired by her journey.
