Fresh from celebrating his 60th birthday at the Grand Ole Opry with friends, family and a sold out crowd, Randy Travis is releasing his long-awaited memoir, Forever and Ever, Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith, and Braving the Storms of Life.
With the help of New York Times Best-Selling Author, Ken Abraham, and
Travis’ wife Mary, this memoir recounts the singer’s journey of
perseverance and redemption from his early childhood memories up until
the book was penned, recovering from a life-changing stroke and painful
divorce, enjoying the life he was given and learning to “sing a new
song.” The book can be purchased at various retailers as well as www.foreverandeveramenbook.com.
With
candid, never-before-told details, Travis recounts his troubled youth
full of drinking and stealing cars, a tense relationship with his
father, and the rollercoaster ride of more than 40 years in the music
and acting industry. He also shares the highs that came after
playing “Forever and Ever, Amen” for the first time; having countless
number one hits and selling more than 25 million albums; and most
importantly, the faith that has seen him through all of it.
Travis
will have a booth with books for purchase and daily photo opportunities
during the upcoming CMA Fest in Nashville, Tenn., as well as a book
tour in select markets. For more information about Forever and Ever, Amen, the tour and Randy Travis, please visitwww.RandyTravis.com.
