Amazing life story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. One always thinks people with fame and fortune have had it easy but it often is not the case,as is John Tesh's journey. His faith in God and trusting in Him to lead his path along with sheer determination and hard times, hard work, led him to success. This is a book that once you start is hard to put down. He includes how he and his wife Connie Selleca met and how she helped lead him to a true relationship with Jesus Christ. He is not being preachy but includes some of their favorite verses and how that has helped him through tough times and a cancer diagnosis. How he now listens to that ''still, inner voice'' and how it eventually led him back to music and the life he was meant to live. There really are no coincidences and he tells how obstacles that were put in his path were soon removed. It is a great testimony to his and Connie's lasting relationship,his career and his Christian life. Great book!

Powerful read. Life isn’t always what it looks like to then world. 
I received an advanced copy and am thankful for it.

This feedback is done courtesy of Net Galley for giving me a sneak peak before being published.

I'm not exactly a fan of self-help books, and worst of all those which cherry pick some Bible passages to support their views, and unfortunately I found Relentless to be exactly that. Indeed, he's desire is to encourage people to be determined to success, with help/faith in God, but as he communicates his story, it appears that as individuals we are the Sovereigns and determinants of how our lives will end up looking like, and of which any serious student of the Bible knows isn't so. So, in short, I'm saying that this book isn't Gospel-centric in nature, no matter how many verses of the Bible it contains.

Powerful book. Loved every page. 

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Fame and fortune are not always what they appear to be and many of those who have been successful lead an alternate reality that forged the path to whom they've become.
John is an incredible person whom I've admired as a journalist but also as a musician and husband. His story of rags to riches was not only powerful it was heartfelt and his tributes to not only his wife and family but friends and yes, even his faith is what carried him through those darker times.
I can't imagine stepping into his schools but from what I've read I'm grateful for him sharing his story because as we know there are always two sides to every story.
This is his own perfectly flawed and perfectly real story of purpose and grit alongside determination and success.
The story of a man who refused to let his situation determine his future and created a path of dignity and of sorrow.
His health scares including a diagnosis of prostate cancer was thankfully a stumbling block and not a life sentence as he used it as a stepping stone to achieve what many felt might be unattainable.
When he didn't have experience he created it and when he heard a melody in his mind he called his own answering machine and left a message with that song attached.
That song is now the famous NBA song "Roundball Rock" theme which was shown on YouTube

This is just a taste of his talent because there's so much more to him. 
What a fascinating read and blessing to have been provided this ARC.
I myself was left bankrupt, homeless, lt unemployed with three kids, without income/assets/savings/credit/employment, and now in extreme poverty having sought full time living wages since 2010 to the present.
I know hardships, I know pain, I too have had every health scare imaginable from 20 yrs of misdianosis with chronic bronchitis, severe anemia, asthma/copd, pneumonia (yes for 20 yrs), the flu after the flu shot (just last month first time in 47 yrs) and severe spinal stenosis with HUS to name just a few.
I know without such pain I'd not be the person I am today and I'm sure John would agree.
Those scars are battle scars so wear them proudly. 
Never give up.
Thank you to John, the pub, NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
