Mosaic by Amy Grant
Amy Grant’s Mosaic reads as if you were rummaging through an old shoebox of snap shots of her life. It’s not the kind of book you want to read all in one sitting, though I’m sure you can. Her sweet and poignant life stories are woven with corresponding song lyrics throughout the book bringing further meaning behind the song lyrics.
I’m about one quarter of the way through, and I’m really enjoying the glimpse into her life. Even before I read this book I had a feeling Amy was a normal, down to earth mom. She’s a lot like you and me, trying to juggle a family and career, except her music has taken her to some amazing places to meet some extraordinary people like Billy Graham, Kevin Costner, and George and Barbara Bush.
She shares stories of her beginnings in the music business, to ordinary life with her children and family. Reading her story is kind of like reading a blog. They stories are short enough that it only take a couple of minutes to read, but they add one more piece to the photo of Amy’s life.
