My Review:

 

In My Jesus, Anne Wilson has written an autobiography about her life story and shared the true meaning behind her first number one hit song, “My Jesus”.  Anne grew up in Kentucky and has a deep connection to living in the country. She has two older siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth. In the beginning of the book, she opened up about adventures they got themselves into growing up. In the book, she also shared that her childhood dream was to become an astronaut and she wanted to attend school in Florida where she would have a chance to work for NASA.  She shared how when she was ten years old, she had a dream to run a summer camp and it grew every year that it had to move from her home to her local church. They would all help run it as a family affair. Everything changed when on June 7, 2017 Jacob died in a terrible car accident. A car ran a yellow light and he tried to avoid the crash and hit an electrical pole. She described the events that happened after that and the whole family experiencing deep grief. At the funeral, she chose to sing in front of audience for the very first time and performed, “What A Beautiful Name” to honor him. Later on, she made a video and uploaded it when people kept asking her to record a video. It led to a door opening and she met a talent scout. He helped her to get a chance at a record contact and she eventually signed with Capital Christian Music Group. 

 

I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who enjoys reading a Christian music artist autobiography. I have read quite a few over the years and this is going to be another big top hit on the New York Bestsellers list. I first heard the song a little over a year ago and I thought the lyrics were very powerful and I could see why people connected with the song. The song is also co-written by Matthew West and anything he touches instantly becomes a hit. I loved hearing about the writing session and how that happened. I deeply liked the message of this book and how she opened up about the pain of losing her brother and how it changed them all and how she was able to handle the heartbreak. I also loved the note from Anne section at the end of each chapter and how she tried to encourage readers about what she learned.
