Editorial Review:

Product Description:

One of America’s most popular music artists shares beautiful pieces of an unforgettable human mosaic, revealing pieces of a life in progress.

With her unmistakable voice and honest lyrics, Amy Grant has captured a unique place in American music. As the bestselling Christian music artist of all time, a crossover pop sensation, and the wife of country music star Vince Gill, Amy has lived much of her life in the spotlight, subject to adulation, speculation, and scrutiny. Now for the first time she bares her heart and soul to reveal thoughts on everything from motherhood and marriage to fame and forgiveness. Whether describing personal moments alone on a moonlit hillside or very public ones performing with the likes of Tony Bennett and James Taylor, Amy presents a captivating collection of beautiful reflections on life, love, and faith.

Includes Never Before Published Lyrics to New Songs

Rendered with the lyrical insight we see in her music, Amy reflects on the pieces of her life through the years, forming a vivid mosaic of memories rich in color, varied in texture, and united in their heartfelt design.

“Thanks to writing and remembering, I’m re-inspired to value both the mundane and magical moments. In trying to capture a few memories as best as I can, I give myself the gift of treasuring what has been so far a very full and meaningful life. I hope you will do the same with yours.” —Amy Grant

Amy Grant weaves original lyrics and poetry into a narrative patchwork of timeless candor in Mosaic. The pieces of her life so far provide stunning inspiration for her beloved fans. Mixing lighthearted reminiscences of her Tennessee childhood, poignant scenes from her life as a wife and mother, and down-to-earth insight from her celebrity stardom, Amy invites you into her world and gently leads you to fresh insights about your own.

Amy’s winsome personality and joyful authenticity radiate from each page, welcoming you into the satisfying company of a warm and compassionate artist—a woman who sees life through a unique and deeply personal lens.

Amy Grant got her start in the music business with a part-time job sweeping up a Nashville music studio, which provided the perfect opportunity to duplicate a tape of her original songs as a gift for her family. A studio executive overheard her recordings—and the rest is music history.

Since the surprising success of her debut album thirty years ago, Amy has grown into a music legend, with six Grammy Awards, twenty-six Dove Awards, and six pop chart-topping hits to her credit. An inductee into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, she also was honored in 2006 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

- Assorted Snapshots From Amy's Life
If you're looking for an orderly, chronological autobiography of Amy's life, this is not it. If you are looking for an exclusive, gut-spilling memoir of all the good things and the bad things in her life, this is not it.

This book is an assortment of stories and memories from Amy's life that have shaped her and made her who she is in Christ. She discusses how her youngest daughter is becoming excited about greeting the day with prayer and praise. She talks about people that she and Vince ... Read More

- Little nuggets of faith and life...
I'm a huge fan, so I'm naturally biased, but there's so much honesty in these vignettes...

The greatest thing I got out of this book is not to take yourself too seriously. Amy sealed this with an embarrassing account of how she was approached to take a photo with a family and she happily arranged everyone in a row with herself in the middle, only to have the father tell her he meant 'a picture of them'.

The lyrics of her songs interspersed throughout the book also gave these ... Read More

- A Collection of Memories
I have been a fan of Amy Grant music since my teens. I've seen her in concert probably a dozen times and saw her husband Vince Gill in concert a time or two as well, so when I saw this book on the shelf I picked it up and gave it a read in two sittings. MOSAIC is not an autobiography nor is it a tell all expose of her divorce to Gary Chapman. Rather it is a collection of memories from Amy Grant's life thus far as she tells stories that inspired her to write some of her biggest hits. Some of the vignettes ... Read More

- This is a great book!
I received this book for Christmas and read it in one night. I couldn't put it down. Amy's talent for writing songs is reflected just as well in writing this book. She is truthful, insightful, funny and candid about her life and her career. I have been a fan of Amy for many years and I was really interested in reading about how she got to this place in her life. I was moved by the emotion that was involved in telling her story and I found myself laughing and/or crying at various points throughout the ... Read More

- A lovely book from the artsy sister next door
Even if you're not a fan of Amy Grant's gospel music, and even if you don't know of her midlife, second marriage to country singer Vince Gill, as a book browser you'd be tempted to pick up this book. The jacket pictures a smiling --- probably laughing --- and barefoot Amy, sporting a bohemian-style skirt and lacy shawl. The pose suggests that she's slightly vulnerable and inviting you into her life.

The title and subtitle don't promise full disclosure or a running narrative. And the text truly ... Read More
