Book Review: Assorted Snapshots From Amy's Life
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for an orderly, chronological autobiography of Amy's life, this is not it. If you are looking for an exclusive, gut-spilling memoir of all the good things and the bad things in her life, this is not it.
This book is an assortment of stories and memories from Amy's life that have shaped her and made her who she is in Christ. She discusses how her youngest daughter is becoming excited about greeting the day with prayer and praise. She talks about people that she and Vince have met that have made an impact on their lives. She fondly recalls old friends and lost loved ones. She acknowledges disappointments and failures of the past while also leaning heavily on the grace and mercy of our God.
In between each chapter are song lyrics and poems that Amy has written through the years. Reading this carefully crafted and poignant book is like sitting down with a doubleshot cup of Starbucks coffee with an old friend. Recommended for all Amy fans and for those who want to meet one of Christian pop's most magnificent artists.
