You can't plan an incredible life ahead of time.
But you can follow the One who already has the road all mapped out.
For Third Day guitarist Mark Lee, the road to success was not without missteps and surprises along the way. Hurt Road is the story of a young man who found in music a refuge from the uncertainties of life. Who set out to discover a better way to live than constantly struggling to make sure life turned out the way he planned. Who stopped substituting what's next for what's now. And who learned that through all the miles between birth and death come sweet mercies--and music for the journey.

My Take:
My son is really into Christian music and has been reading up on various artists. I was excited to get this book for him to read. This is what he had to say about it.
"As a Third Day fan [and fan of pretty much every other
Christian band and artist] I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the
little quotes Mark put at the beginning of every chapter; they were like little
summaries of what that chapter was about. His spiritual insight, mixed with
stories from his childhood and life in Third Day, make for a good mix of
everyday life and life for a Christian music celebrity band member. Mark isn’t
afraid to say he’s not perfect or that only God is, but even though he, like everyone, has made his mistakes, he’s an outstanding man and Christian! He is definitely a
role model you would want to have. A big fan of the Christian music industry
and someone who would like to be in it one day, I like to read books about
people like Mark. Their lives are amazing and inspiring and the spiritual
insight they give is very useful for having a good relationship with God. His
life is definitely a story worth reading about! I’d give this book
five-out-of-five stars without a second thought! If you want an inspiring book
to help you grow in your faith as a Christian you should definitely read Hurt
Road . Mark’s story is one you’ll never forget! And
now I leave you to go buy your own copy of Hurt Road
and be as amazed as I was.
