Between Wyomings: My God and an Ipod on the open road, is a necessary read for anyone struggling with their professional life and Christian life. The tale unfolds as Ken, his wife Connie and their loyal transport Moses the Van, traverse across his memories and the Country. During the journey Ken tells his personal accounts of life in the music biz with major players in the industry including, Waylon Jennings, Ringo Starr and many more. His life was full of all the extravagances Hollywood supplied but he was still looking for fulfillment that only comes with being one with Christ. Ken’s star-studded career becomes a nightmare when he found himself out or work, home and money. Between Wyomings, expresses that God has a place for you and it may not be an easy ride but when you listen to Him the rewards are unimaginable!
Ken’s statement that “most of life is spent either climbing or falling off a mountain, while standing on top--if ever achieved--is very fleeting,” is a great interpretation of this book. The first half was hard reading, his writing is described as “a Christian on acid” and I had to encourage myself to keep going, by the middle I found his voice and was rewarded with a wonderful and encouraging story! Between Wyomings, brought me back to my spiritual goals and by reading this book; it encourages me to take a step back into Christ. I encourage anyone who is struggling with climbing the career ladder, while maintaining his or her Christina integrity to read this story.
