Forever and Ever, Amen

A Memoir of Music, Faith, and Braving the Storms of Life

De: Randy Travis, Ken Abraham - contributor

Narrado por: Rory Feek

A riveting tale of unfathomable success, great joy, deep pain, and redemption that can come only from above.

From a working-class background in North Carolina to a job as a cook and club singer in Nashville to his "overnight success" with his smash 1986 album Storms of Life - which launched the neotraditional movement in country music - Randy’s first three decades are a true rags-to-riches story.

But in 2009, this seemingly charmed life began a downward spiral. His marriage dissolved, he discovered that his finances had unraveled, and his struggles with anger led to alcohol abuse, public embarrassment, and even police arrest in 2012.

Then, just as he was putting his life back together, Randy suffered a devastating viral cardiomyopathy that led to a massive stroke that he was not expected to survive. Yet he not only survived but also learned to walk again and in 2016 accepted his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame by singing the hymn that explains his life today: "Amazing Grace".

Filled with never-before-told stories, Forever and Ever, Amen a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at dizzying success and the miraculous road to restoration.

Love you Forever and Ever, Amen

Thank you for all of the time and energy that went into this beautiful autobiography. Randy, you have always been my favorite artist. You have so many movies and recordings I haven’t seen or heard yet. Life gets busy and we don’t spend time doing what we enjoy, so the lessons in your book along with the knowledge of more to discover fills me with anticipation. I love you and I will love you forever and ever AMEN!

Great book.

I was unaware as Rory of what a struggle this great man has endured to give the world some great music. Listened from start to finish non-stop. Great job Rory and thank you Randy Travis. Good bless you.

Awesome

Had to listen twice. Ready to listen again. Such an inspiring story. I had forgotten about the video as have many people. So don’t worry about it. Mary is a saint, well deserved after his first wife. No one can know how difficult taking care of someone can be under those circumstances unless they’ve been through it themselves. I prayed for them throughout the whole story. Excuse me, I need to listen to his music.

A Fan

My husband and I have been married for 31 years. One of our first dates was a Randy Travis concert. We still dance around our kitchen listening to his music! He has a special place in our heart. I laughed and cried while listening to this book. I even bought his Inspirational Journey CD and Hymnal CD after I heard the book. Highly recommend this audiobook!

a great book

a great book with a great story and a important message none of us should forget.

Great book

I think the gentleman reading the book had a pleasant voice, but did not do the book justice. What a powerful story about giving your power away and trusting the wrong people. I love Randy Travis.

Real, Inspiring

This is such a good read. I was not a country music fan until recently and prefer "real" country music. I had not heard Randy Travis' music until after listening to this memoir (amazing voice). Rory Feeks' narration is very good, along with his own personal comments, as he has his own story that is much similar. I wish Mr. Travis, his wife, and family all the best. Praying for you!

Amazing

What an incredible story! The best autobiography I have ever read. All country music fans should read this book. Amen!

amazing story of strength and faith

my favorite country singer growing up. listening to Randy's life successes and trials is truly inspiring and heartwarming. I enjoyed seeing him recently on stage with his wife while a country singer sang all his songs. my favorite part was when sang one single word Amen. the crowd stood up and applauded his life and music.

Randy Travis is amazing
