by Christopher LongPublish: May 06, 2014Christian NonfictionBook Overview
OVERVIEWJoin author Christopher Long on his journey from mosh pits to missions fields in the pages of his fascinating new book, "SHOUT IT OUT LOUD: Stories of Fast Times and Faith, From the Show Biz Guru."
Remaining true to his colorful reputation, this lively 2014 follow-up to Long's popular 2012 release "C'MON!" delivers the same engaging, conversational style that continues to make his "Show Biz Guru" website a popular Internet destination.
"SHOUT IT OUT LOUD" reunites Long with cartoonist Wendrell Tillett who once again contributes oodles of hilarious illustrations into the mix, making for a reading experience that's both inspirational and entertaining.
Also joining Long's team this time around is Bryan Dumas, the band and music school director at Word of Life Center, located in Shreveport, Louisiana. In 2012, Dumas came on onboard as a content consultant for Long's website. His full-time career in Christian ministry, extensive knowledge of Scriptures, 35-year music industry background and lifelong friendship with Long makes Dumas the ideal co-author for "SHOUT IT OUT LOUD."
In addition to a personal foreword from outspoken Canadian author, Brent Jensen (No Sleep 'Til Sudbury / Leftover People), "SHOUT IT OUT LOUD" also is packed with photos from Long's vast personal collection.
