This is a weekly meme of mine that will feature books and authors.
I’m so excited to make my first post on this self-created meme!

Title: C’mon: My Story of Rock, Run and Revelation
Author: Christopher Long
Publisher: Digital Books International
Released On: January 17, 2012
Website: www.CmonTheBook.com
OVERVIEW
Uniquely described as "The Wonder Years"-meets-"The Wall" at a Big Tent Revival, "C’MON!" offers a bold message of faith based on author Christopher Long’s lifelong connection to the entertainment world.
Long recounts his personal experiences with candor and wit – from growing up with Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt to being physically threatened by Gene Simmons of Kiss to hanging out at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate to his ultimate life-changing spiritual awakening.
This compelling and entertaining memoir features dozens of photos as well as original illustrations by cartoonist, Wendrell Tillett, and a foreword by Jeff “Blando” Bland, guitarist for the platinum-selling rock band Slaughter and Vince Neil.
HIGHLIGHTS
Author Christopher Long tells his story of faith, family and the pursuit of fame and fortune in a glitzy and often morally bankrupt industry in his typical engaging, conversational style.
"C’MON!" is a powerful personal testimony, chock-full of anecdotes and insider stories: ·ROCK: Long’s first-hand accounts of iconic figures from Brad Pitt, Gene Simmons, Donald Trump and President George H.W. Bush to riveting tales of murder, drug deals, backstage meltdowns and more!
·RUIN: Deeply personal and compelling experiences from divorce and depression to career frustrations and addictions.
·REVELATION: An open, honest and detailed account of the 2010 spiritual awakening that led him from the world of “Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll” into the world of Christian ministry.
