Steven Curtis Chapman's new autobiography opens up the highs and lows of a life spent creating powerful worship music, and is an inspiring read for anyone looking for a story of redemption, of loss, hope and finding inspiration to lift your voice to God in praise. No matter what. Between Heaven And The Real World shows you the faith behind the music, and will leave you hopeful of the ways God moves in each and every life.


Just as his music has changed hearts, so too will his life.


From his troublesome family life as a child, right up to losing his 5 year old daughter in a tragic accident, Steven Curtis Chapman writes with searing honesty and insight everything that has happened in his life. Nothing is hidden, regardless how painful or difficult. His personal journey of faith is offered up as a testament to his faith, a declaration of God's faithfulness in everything.

Notes

Experience the moments that made Christian music history

For decades, Steven Curtis Chapman's music and message have brought hope and inspiration to millions. Now, for the first time, Steven openly shares the experiences that have shaped him, his faith, his family, and his music in a life that has included incredible highs and faith-shaking lows.

From childhood, music has been both a refuge and a release for Steven. With humour and humility, he offers a backstage look at his early days on the road and his wild ride to the top of the charts. Discover the stories behind some of his best-loved songs. Walk with him as he and his wife, Mary Beth, navigate the joys and trials of marriage and family. Cheer for his return to the stage after doubting he could ever sing again. And SEE God in the aftermath of the tragic death of their five-year-old daughter Maria.

Poignant, gut-wrenchingly honest, yet always hopeful, Steven offers no sugary solutions to life's toughest questions. Yet out of the brokenness, he continues to trust God to one day fix what is unfixable in the space between heaven and the real world.
