Amy Grant talks about new book Mosaic: Pieces Of My Life So Far
CCM STAR Amy Grant
spoke to Christian Retailing magazine about her new book Mosaic:
Pieces Of My Life So Far published in the US by WaterBrook Press. She
said, "I was pursued by a publisher at Random House named Dudley
Delffs for about three years, and I think I just finally waved the
white flag. I was overwhelmed at the thought of a timeline kind of a
book for a couple of reasons. One, I'm a fairly private person and I
didn't want to be a part of a tell-all. Also, the time that I was
able to invest in it - I knew that I did not want to have a
ghostwriter or a co-writer. But when Dudley came and said, 'We'd love
to do a collection of lyrics,' of course I went, 'Good, they're
already written' - poems, which I've had for years that have never
become songs, and stories - they can be stories behind the songs or
favourite memories. With that kind of latitude, it was really a
pleasure." ![]()


I was simply encouraged by Amy's honesty and her vunerability expressed sometimes carefully and othertimes gut-wrenchingly. I cried many times and had to put the book down because I identified with so many of her feelings and doubts and fears and God's amazing rescues SO MANY TIMES in my life. I absolutely LOVED this book. Thanks Amy!
