If you are interested in seeing what it could be like for a group of musicians and artists to really live 'out of the box' and follow Jesus step by step in reaching out to the lost around them with the Gospel, this book will be a huge encouragement to you - and also will challenge your comfort zones!
This is a book written with honesty and truthfulness about seeking to carry out a vision they felt God put on their hearts as they followed Jesus step by step - amidst the many lessons God had prepared for them along the way. It is a true story filled with all kinds of adventure and mixed emotions of a 5 year journey across Canada where they had opportunity to be instrumental in seeing God work in incredible ways through the most unlikely situations. It is a story of their journeys into knowing God's heart better for themselves so His love could increasingly transform them and pour out of them even more effectively.
This is a book which I believe is very timely for the Church on many levels, and which I believe many of God's artists and musicians (and many others!!!!) are longing for - to see His active, on-the-edge kind of life as we follow Him into His new ways of doing things in this new season He's bring the Church into more and more.
I have personally been very inspired by this book as it echoes many of the things on my heart for years and includes many of the lessons of my own journey of transformation as Jesus keeps leading the way.
I highly recommend this book for any who desire to move
into a life that is truly not the norm but one of experiencing life with Jesus
and relationships with those around you in ways you had never dreamed!

From the book:
"…What if God called you out like the early disciples - with nothing, no program, no agenda, only His leading?
This book shares the faith journey of average folks, who
dared to live hand to mouth while celebrating the gospel from town to town.
Sandy Rosen brings us this compelling story of believers, who learned
the Power and Love of God, during a Spirit-led five year journey across Canada.
Supernatural principles for real life…
