“Turner is refreshingly reluctant to sensationalize . . . evenhanded and honest. Turner's life of the artist pays due honor to Cash.”
“The Man Called Cash takes a genuine hero, examines him thoroughly and leaves both his heroism and his humanity intact. In what may be the most admirable of his many achievements, it's as good as Cash deserves. 3 ½ of 4 stars.”
“The Man Called Cash is the best account to date of a truly remarkable life.”
“This is a worthy book.”
“Johnny Cash was unquestionably one of the most gifted and unusual men I ever knew. My wife Ruth and I considered Johnny and June two of our dearest friends, and we miss them both deeply. In this highly readable biography, Steve Turner vividly captures the remarkable story of Johnny's life, from beginning to end—a life marked by repeated struggles and successes. Most of all, it was a life marked by great faith in Jesus Christ—a faith that carried him through difficulties that would have overwhelmed a lesser person. Johnny Cash comes alive in this book, and you will be a better person for having read it.”
“about the Johnny Cash I knew.”
“Johnny Cash is my friend. I say is because he ain't really gone . . . he's just hoverin' and watchin' and helpin' the rest of us get thru this "life deal." I'll read this book a little at a time. One can't take much of "ole J.R." at one sittin'. He's too powerful. . . but the book is solid and powerful too.”
“John Cash was and will always be the true voice and spirit of a man of God and an American musical giant. He was a student of the human condition and a teacher of the spirit. He was a sinner and a redeemer, who struggled to find truth in his own life and bring love and awareness to the world. He admitted to us his darkness but always struggled to find the light. He never pretended to be anything but himself. He and June Carter Cash (his angel) will always be our inspirations. You will discover that inspiration in this wonderful book. If you never knew them, you will meet them here and grow to love them as we did. The Man Called Cash will fill your hearts with insight into the lives of two amazing people and the most important era of American music.”
“Johnny Cash was all too human, but God was always tugging at his soul. This book gives us a glimpse of his inner struggles, and of a God who would not let him go.”
