Man in Black by Johnny Cash - Favorite book By
No Compromise The Life of Keith Green favorite about.
By: KISS: The Early Years by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Waring Abbott
About: Rich Mullins: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven by James Bryan Smith and Brennan Manning
"The Way I was Made" by Chris Tomlin
Hard one to answer: Jeremy Begbie has to two excellent books which immediately come to mind
1. Beholding the Glory: Incarnation Through the Arts (Baker Books, 2000).
2. Voicing Creation's Praise: Toward a Theology of the Arts (T&T Clark LTD, 1991).
But Charlie Peacock's "New Way to Be Human: A Provocative Look at What It Means to Follow Jesus" (Shaw, 2004) probably wins out at this time. David Crowder's quoted on the cover, "This book will make you want to live. Not a tedious breathing in and out, in and out ... but how you've known it should be. Your ideas about relationship with the Divine will expand."
Simplicty by Mark Salomon.... striving to be authentic in music, life and being a Christian.

Everyone is choosing Christian musicians. Sorry, my favorite is "U2 by U2". It is not only a good book, it is a whole experience.
Fav. book by a musician- Tarantula by Bob Dylan
Fav. book about a musician- One Step Closer (U2) by scharen
Rich Mullins: A Devotional Biography: An Arrow Pointing to Heaven. this collection of Rich's writings not only challenges me and makes me want to cry, but also leads me to the throne of God.

The Unquenchable Worshipper: Coming Back to the Heart of Worship by Matt Redman
I learned a lot from that book while becoming a worship leader. Amazing amazing stuff.

a story of janis joplin, written by her sister, laura.
not your average biography. a little painful to read in places, but that's to be imagined. you find yourself wondering several things; how could her life have been different without her demons? would her music be less passionate? everybody associated with an icon is out for a buck, usually, that can't be discounted. but the facts as laid out in the book, would be intriguing to classic rock fans.
"Sunsets & Sushi" by David Crowder.
No Compromise by Keith Green
Sunset and Sushi by Crowder was pretty great
I didn't mean BY Keith Green obviuosly
The winner is: Anthony Stevens!
