The Man Comes Around: The Spiritual Journey of Johnny Cash
By Dave Urbanski
Foreword by Dan Haseltine, lead singer of Jars of Clay
The Soul of an American Legend
Who Was Johnny Cash? Rock star? Preacher? Drug addict? Saint? In truth, the Man in Black lived long enough and hard enough to embody all of the aboveóand much more. He was a musical legend, a one-of-a-kind communicator, an American iconóbut someone that could never be pigeonholed.
Cash's faith in God was no different: "I'm still a Christian, as I have been all my life," he once said. "Beyond that I get complicated." Cash's faith was raw, challenged, broken and messy. But it was real. Unlike any other book written about Johnny Cash, The Man Comes Around explores with vivid detail the wild highs and lows that took place during this man's lifelong spiritual journey. It illuminates the deep, unending love he had for his music, his wife and his God.
Painstakingly researched and adorned with vivid, narrative detail, The Man Comes Around shows the impact this American legend has made not only in American music, but in eternity. After hearing his story, you'll never hear his music the same again.
