Michael Sweet Book

Post by brent » Wed Nov 19, 2014 11:14 pm

I would highly suggest reading this book, if for no other reason than to get the straight truth from the horses mouth, and to learn about the processes and demands of the music industry. If you paid attention back in the day, this book doesn't reveal any big shocking sin news. I think everyone knew they partied hard and were hypocrites in their peak. To me, this book reveals great insight into the interpersonal dynamics, politics, business dealings, and how God got Mike's attention. The book is full of typos and grammatical boo boos, but so what?

Brent, this is likely the best book by a Christian artist I have read. Coming in second would be Michael English's "The Prodigal Comes Home". I appreciate Michael's honesty. This book does not sugar coat anything.

I would love to see Schlitt, Hartman, and/or Volz write a Petra 'tell-all' from their perspective. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but sometimes some Christian artists appear picture perfect when they are not. By sharing his weaknesses and failures specifically, Michael has gained even more respect from me.

@ Brent: How many chapters does this book have?
I'm surprised, that you can read the first 6 chapters on amazon. :shock:

@ davea: Naa... It will never happen.
