Michael English

I have just finished reading an awesome book about contemporary christian singer Michael English. I have always been a fan of his and his unique voice. In 1994 he was involved in a scandal where he admitted an affair with another christian singer. His book tells the story of that event and how he descended into drugs and alcoholism and how God brought him out of it.

I remember first hearing about the scandal and thinking "I hope we christians don't make a fool of ourselves by pointing fingers and judging", and that's what happened mostly. We love to preach about grace and mercy but don't show any ourselves when one of our brothers or sisters fall...this is why many who fall don't come back and become rebellious and don't seek to get back up...because we their family make it hard if not impossible to with our gossiping and judgements.

Anyways, pick this book up...it's an amazing read and reflects how God never gives up on his children no matter how low we sink. Check out these two videos:
