Johnny Cash : the redemption of an American icon / Greg Laurie with Marshall Terrill.
At the peak of his career, Johnny Cash had done it all: a rags-to-riches sensation singing alongside Presley and performing for presidents. But in 1971 the middle-aged icon was searching for peace. At the end of his life, Cash was speaking openly about his "unshakeable faith." Laurie and Terrill dive into Cash's inner demons, triumphs, and gradual return to faith, and reveal how the singer's true success came through finding the only Person whose star was bigger than his own. -- adapted from jacket
