Big news from Randy Travis today! The country legend just announced his long-awaited memoir titled, Forever and Ever Amen. The book will come out via Thomas Nelson, a division of HarperCollins
In the memoir, Travis opens up for the first time. He shares personal stories from throughout his life. He tells the story of growing up in a troubled, working-class childhood in North Carolina. Travis also opens up about his broken marriage and his recovery from viral cardiomyopathy, flatlining, massive stroke
“I didn’t really feel I had a book to write until I stood on the distant shore and looked back over the ripples my life has made — on myself and on others,” he said. “My songs were the stories of my life and I learned from those who listened, they were theirs too — my fans inspired me and continue to do so.”
“I learned a lot about myself going back through the chronicles of my past. In my waning years of ability, I have a clearer picture of the past. It’s an interesting game of patience to sit and wait for the clocks of time to expose so much. As the candle burns, it is time to share the history that made me who I am, tell the backstory to some of my songs, give insight to the challenges I faced and reflect on the blessings through it all.”
In this memoir, Travis recounts his youth full of drinking and stealing cars in never-before-told details. He also shares the highs that came through his success in music and opens up about his faith that got him through the difficult times.
