Summary: 5 Stars
Laura from Canada does not know what she is talking about. I am 43 years old, not a "kiddie" and I loved his book. So did my 48 year old husband and my 64 year old mother.I attended his Christmas concert and was completely in awe. Here it is the end of January and I am still listening to his Christmas CD.
I am 99% Country music, but I am completely enamored with him. I picked him to win from his first audition. It wasn't until later that I learned that he sang originally sang Country. I think that probably explains my attachment to him.
I have his Joyful Noise tour program on display in my office.
Book Review: Skeptic turned Fan...
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit that I've been really skeptical about this book when I heard that Clay was releasing it. Although I've been a fan of Clay since his American Idol days, I couldn't get over how a man the same age as me could come up with an autobiography/inspirational memoir that is worth reading.
I was wrong, truly and completely wrong. I read the book in one sitting, marvelling at Clay's sensitivity and thoughtfulness in expressing the events that happened in his life. The book made me cry several times, especially when he talked about how the little boy, Joey, who was a known troublemaker, gave his present to his best friend whom he had been bullying.
I am not a Christian. In fact, I consider myself one of the atheists that Clay expressed much confusion about. But I can understand Clay's faith and I love how he did not try to push his belief to anyone reading the book, and only said that it was a faith he himself had chosen.
Clay changed my life. I spent my life trying to fit it. Now I don't think I have ever been considered a nerd. But all my life, I've been trying to be popular, well-liked and accepted. I may not have Clay's profound learnings, but one day I too hope to find my song and learn to sing it well.
So give this book a read even if you are a skeptic. Even if you are not moved by it at the end of the day, at least you were open-minded enough to give it a try.
Book Review: This Book Changed Me
Summary: 5 Stars
For the past year I have been struggling with myself hoping to become a better person. I was asking God to make me a kinder, less judgmental person. When He didn't miraculously swoop down and turn me into a wonderfully sweet and caring person, I figured I was going about things the wrong way.
When I became humble and realized it was up to me to change myself and not God, He brought Clay into my life.
It all started with the T.V. guide article in the Dec. '04 issue. After reading the article, I purchased Clay's Christmas CD and the book Learning To Sing. The book touched me so deeply I read it again. It was truly the answer to my prayers.
I could relate to the dysfunctional family aspects. The torment of being teased in school, being raised by a single mother who worked her fingers to the bone to keep a roof over my head, and food in my mouth. It is a terrific read. It's no wonder there is so much soul in his singing. He has had so much pain in his life, but he was also blessed, and very grateful for the good people he had in his life.
This book has truly changed my life. I am so glad to know there are other people out there who have been affected by this book as I have. Please read this honest, open, sad, funny, wonderful book.
Thank you, God. Thank you,. Clay
