I am reviewing a copy of The Faith of Elvis through Nelson Books and Netgalley:
Bill Stanley goes behind the glamour and the crowds, beyond the movies and the records Apart from all who knew him, wanted to know him, or just wanted to be near him.
Billy Stanley knew Elvis Presley as a brother—and as a man of deep faith.
From the time Bill Stanley arrived at Graceland and received a bear hug from the King of Rock and Roll to the last conversation they ever had, one thing stayed the same: Elvis’s passion for sharing God’s love with as many people he could.
The Faith of Elvis shows a side of Elvis that is not often shown, in this book Billy brings to light Elvis Christian journey, sharing things like the notes Elvis made in his beloved Bible to his struggles with sin as his fame increased to his remarkable generosity toward fans and movie stars alike.
In Billy's loving account you will discover some touching family stories of the Elvis that pop culture doesn’t know; a keen look into how Elvis intricately wove his faith into every part of his life; insights into the ups-and-downs the four brothers experienced while at home and on the road together; and examples of Elvis’s profound influence on others, from those closest to him to his cherished fans and, ultimately, the world at large.
And in these pages you may find your own faith strengthened.
I give The Faith of Elvis five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
