Resumen del Editor

Unexpected Places is the personal story of gospel singer Anthony Evans, son of well-known pastor Tony Evans and brother of author Priscilla Shirer. In this intimate and moving memoir, Anthony shares the details of his struggles with depression and doubt and encourages listeners with the unique story of his search for purpose and identity.

From growing up duty-bound to his name, to his time as a finalist and then talent producer on The Voice, Anthony explores the pressures he experienced as a child and as a young man in Hollywood. He describes the journey to his renewed faith in God and exposes the vast differences between what the world teaches us to value and how God values us. Anthony examines what his parents did right in raising him but also describes how they unknowingly missed his pain. Finally, he reveals how God orchestrated his plan to grow Anthony into a man who is in love with his life, his heritage, and his individual calling.

Anthony has learned to embrace the incredible beauty of his unique voice. In Unexpected Places, he invites listeners on their own journey to do the same.

Powerful, Honest & full of God's amazing GRACE!

What honesty and awesome life lessons that can transcend both sexes and all ages. Many favorites moments, great illustrations but the two that resonates: the admission of depression and willingness/openness that he needed help: counseling and medication. Then the first group session in which Anthony shares his story and the role playing. In dealing with his fears and problems on his own and His God and all of God's power in the background. Oh, but what a difference it made and does it make when he, Anthony, put GOD in front of his fears and problems!

Could not stop reading, Awesome story! Thanks again and a MUST READ for anyone!

Totally Transparent and Equally Engaging

An inspiring and profound message from a humble and annointed writer. It truly blessed me.

Transparent and Relatable

Anthony's transparency was so refreshing. I have a lot of friends who are "Preachers Kids" PK's and it was such a Blessing to hear a story from the child's perspective. Also hearing his dad apologize for not knowing and continuing to walk through life and allowing Anthony to find his purpose and passion. I too am a "Squirrel ". So it was icing on the cake to hear a squirrel tell the story and I followed it and never really thought of it as him having a squirrel moment. Thanks Anthony for sharing you heartache, heartbreak and healing.

I enjoyed this book

It’s an easy read, the narrators voice is engaging. There’s over 30 chapters but they’re short. Each begins with a Bible verse to set the mood. Each chapter is packed with stories to illustrate life lessons. The book is well written and marked by his personality. I will be listening to it again, I’m sure. I may even purchase the book to highlight certain portions for quick reference. God is always speaking, we need to listen.

A must read!

It's nothing I expected but, its everything i needed to hear. You won't be disappointed!

Wonderfully Surprising

This book was a quick read and it was good. Anthony's transparency is amazing. Wow. The authenticity will change lives. I'm shocked at myself...I decided to start listening to sermons again.

The honesty of the life of faith

I realized that God is always speaking and due to human tendencies and pride we don’t listen and then wander why the path becomes unbearable at times. God is a God of redemption and grace. Also our answer and awareness is ours for the finding with courage. Self acceptance and awareness of our spiritual and emotional along with physical needs.

Absolutely loved it & Anthony's transparency.

Thank you Anthony for sharing your honest story. Thank you for opening up your life for us to see and learn from. Thank you for being you! God bless you!
