Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song and the Power of Perseverance (Hardcover)
Singing sensation and American Idol favorite David Archuleta tells his inspiring personal story. Includes full-color photos!
A runner-up on American Idol and successful music artist, David Archuleta was named one of the “breakout stars of 2008″ by Forbes magazine and landed the number two spot on the Billboard charts.
In Chords of Strength David shares his unexpected and inspiring journey, including how he overcame vocal cord paralysis to achieve his dream of being a singer. He reveals insecurities he felt about his voice-before he realized that he loved the way singing made him feel more than he disliked the way he sounded. In this personal memoir, David opens up about the strength he draws from his unshakable faith and unyielding family. He pays tribute to those who continue to inspire him and through their example help him believe in himself, his talent, and his abilities.
Intimate and uplifting, Chords of Strength allows a unique glimpse of the man behind the music and offers hope to anyone with a passion and a dream.

Love the cover! He looks mature in this photo which is a good thing because people browsing at the bookstores will be more likely to take it seriously and pick it up. Also “Platinum selling recording artist and American Idol Star” looks very impressive in print. Very nice.
Sandra, I would buy a Spanish version. It would help me brush up on my Spanish and enjoy doing so at the same time!

Was I supposed to read the article? LOL I can’t stop looking at the cover. It just makes me smile. I can’t wait for what’s inside the cover, too. Now he will add “writer” to his growing list of talents. I’m so proud of him.

Thank you for posting this information about David’s upcoming book. I’ve been looking forward to “Chords of Strength” since I first heard about it, and, from the description here, I think that it will be a very interesting and worthwhile read. Hmmm…maybe I need to schedule a couple of vacation days in early May. It’s hard to fit time for literary pursuits into a busy work day…
By the way, one phrase in the write-up stood out to me: “a unique glimpse of the man behind the music.” AFD, are you writing book blurbs for publishers and/or Amazon.com now in addition to your many other duties?

Everything about this book and cover puts a HUGE smile on my face. I can’t imagine all the hard work that went into this book. Writing, recording, appearances, charity work and writing a book – just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap. Such an accomplishment for someone so young.
What else is he going to give his fans? I’ll be ready for whatever it is.
