Description

"Whatever you are feeling, God can handle it--all of it. The tears, screams, and questions. God invites you to let Him tend to your heart."

In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family--and Jesus. But when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him.

My Jesus weaves together Anne's personal story with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears.

No matter what season of life you're facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to:

  • Show how God can bring purpose out of loss
  • Offer hope in the midst of heartbreak
  • Remind you that God never abandons you

Discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne's story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way.

Praise for My Jesus:

"I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story."

--Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original

"The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read."

--Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun

"Whatever you are feeling, God can handle it--all of it. The tears, screams, and questions. God invites you to let Him tend to your heart."

This is a heartbreaking, thought-provoking, emotional, inspiring, and uplifting memoir from musician Anne Wilson! She writes with such beauty, honesty, and does not shy away from expressing and sharing the true emotions and struggles herself and her family have and continue going through. It is such a beautiful expression of her faith and personal connection/relationship with God and Jesus. As well as being a beautiful and wonderful recognition and expression of the constancy and goodness of God and Jesus. I cannot recommend this book highly enough! 5 stars!

Thank you very much to author Anne Wilson, the publisher Thomas Nelson, and NetGalley for the wonderful opportunity of reading and reviewing this book and for providing me with a digital copy to read and review honestly.

I didn’t know how much my soul needed this book. Having suffered a similar loss, Anne’s strength (and her music) have provided me with a new way of channeling and explaining my grief. Thank you.

Great autobiography! All the feels!
My Jesus is one of my favourite songs and it was so interesting to hear the story that inspired Anne Wilson to deepen her faith.
Incredibly moving book.

Wow I don't even know what to say. I picked this book up at the right time and it has encouraged me so much. They say grief comes in waves, and that is a true statement. This year it is hitting in a different way. On Sept. 21, 2012 We lost my father in law when his friend was driving and drove off a mountain road. The car hit a tree and my father in law was killed instantly. Reading this book, I could so relate to what Anne wrote because I have walked similar paths.

This year as the anniversary of my father in laws death approached there was a few Godthings that hit me.
1)This week the hymn for our homeschool hymn study is “It is well with my soul.” What a powerful hymn and a powerful testimony from the writer of the hymn. Which also as I was reading this book and Anne was talking about this hymn it really struck me the relevance of this.
2) I also had the opportunity to review this book. I was suppose to review it a few months ago, and it got lost on my shelf (sorry). Up until the last two days I could not have told you who Anne was, nor what her story was. After finishing the book today, it was such a powerful book. She talks about how her brother was in a car accident, hitting a telephone pole and was killed on the spot. I could so relate to Anne and her story and where she has come from. Her love for Jesus and telling others about him is such a blessing. This book was such an encouragement that came at just the right time.
Thank you for taking time to write this book. It truly touched me and challenged me in few aspects of my faith.

I love Anne Wilson's music so was very eager to read this book she wrote about her personal story and life journey. It was so incredibly inspiring and encouraged reading her words and the ways she faced heartbreak and hardship with her eyes on Jesus. I loved getting to hear the backstory to what led her in her journey to writing the music I so love listening to! This book and Anne's testimony are powerful and could definitely touch many lives, especially those people who find themselves relating to various circumstances of Anne Wilson's life. Anne's writing itself was wonderful and kept my attention throughout her biography. I'm so glad I read this one and for what I gained walking away from it!

Many thanks to Nelson Books and Netgalley for the gifted e-copy!

I finished this title quickly. It is always interesting to read about the artist and their songs. However, the writing is a bit formulaic for such titles.
