Lifestories, the first book by Mark Hall, the lead singer of the popular Christian band Casting Crowns, offers a look into the stories behind the songs from the band's first two albums, Lifesong and Casting Crowns. Read about Hall's struggles with dyslexia and ADD, about a revolutionary from Romania, about a mother who lost her precious daughter Erin, and several other touching stories.
Each chapter ends with "The Godline" and "The Bottom Line." Godlines are the lines in Hall's songs that he believes that only God could have given him. The Bottom Line poses a few challenging questions related to the story behind each chapter. These questions make the reader think about where they are in their relationship with God and other people and challenge the reader to get even farther in those relationships.
Lifestories is a great book that presents how God works in people's lives. It will make the reader cry at times and at others want to praise God. It will challenge the reader to listen to God's voice of truth over the chaotic noises of this world and to worship God with their lives, not just with a short amount of time each week at church. Lifestories shows how every Christian should let their "lifesongs" sing to the Lord.
Whether one is a Casting Crowns fan or not, Lifestories is a great book to pick up because it will challenge the faith of everyone who reads it and bring the reader closer to God. View All Music And Book Reviews By UnashamedOfHim116 | View UnashamedOfHim116's Profile
