Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon

Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon

Join Greg Laurie, pastor and bestselling author ofÂ Steve McQueen: The Salvation of an American Icon,Â as he takes you on a personal journey into the life and legend of Johnny Cash.

At the peak of his career, Cash had done it allâ‚¬"living the ultimate rags-to-riches story of growing up on a cotton farm in the Deep South to becoming a Nashville and Hollywood sensation, singing alongside heroes like Elvis Presley and performing for several American presidents.

But through all of this, Cash was troubled. By the time he released the iconicÂ Man in BlackÂ album in 1971, the middle-aged icon was broken down, hollow-eyed, and wrung out.

In his search for peace, Cash became embroiled in controversy. He was arrested fiveÂ times in seven years. His drug- and alcohol-induced escapades led to car accidents and a forest fire that devastated 508 acres. His time was divided between Jesus and jail, gospel tunes and the â‚¬Å“Cocaine Blues.â‚¬Â

But by the end of his life, Cash was speaking openly about his â‚¬Å“unshakeable faith.â‚¬Â What caused the superstar to turn from his conflicting passions to embrace a life in Christ?

Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American IconÂ dives deep into the singerâ‚¬s inner demons, triumphs, and gradual return to faith. Laurie interviews Cashâ‚¬s family, friends, and business associates to reveal how the singerâ‚¬s true success came through finding the only Person whose star was bigger than his own.
