Product Description
Following the success of I’m Your Man and Just Kids, legendary Canadian singer and songwriter Bruce Cockburn delivers his long-awaited memoir—a chronicle of faith, fear, and activism that is also a lively cultural and musical tour through the late twentieth century.

Award-winning songwriter and pioneering guitarist Bruce Cockburn’s life has been shaped by politics, protest, romance, and spiritual discovery. For more than five decades he has toured the globe, visiting far-flung places such as Guatemala, Mali, Mozambique, Afghanistan, and Nepal, performing and speaking out on diverse issues, from native rights and land mines to the environment and Third World debt. His journeys have been reflected in his music and evolving styles: folk, jazz, blues, rock, and worldbeat. Drawing from his experiences, he continues to create memorable songs about his ever-expanding universe of wonders.

As an artist with thirty-one albums, Cockburn has won numerous awards and the devotion of legions of fans across America and his native Canada, where he is a household name. Yet the man himself has remained a mystery. In his memoir, Cockburn invites us into his private world, sharing his Christian convictions, his personal relationships, and the social and political activism that has defined him and has both invigorated and incited his fans.

I will definitely be picking this up. Thanks

There's an excerpt posted online. I read the forward, and I can't wait for the book (ok, kindle file) to arrive!

I'm about 1/3 of the way through. Quite good, & VERY SURPRISING. I've been a huge fan since the 70's, & he is not at all who I thought he was.

I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, just very surprising.

I'm half way through. I can't remember he last time a book upset me this much. I can't really explain without getting into politics; other than to say that BC's descriptions of things he personally witnessed make me sick to my stomach. Highly recommended read for a wake up call.
