Review I met the man, Craig Morgan, in Utah and loved his music. The next time I saw him was in Panama as a fellow teammate on CBSs Beyond the Edge. Its there that I saw an American hero in action. After reading God, Family, Country, I know why hes the confident, driven, humble, loyal, brave warrior that he is. --Mike Singletary, NFL Hall of Fame “Like his music, Craig Morgan’s memoir will move you. I was inspired by Craig’s journey, his many surprise accomplishments, and the way he has trusted his values to guide him through the highs and lows of his remarkable life.” -- Blake Shelton, Grammy-nominated country music artist“The title of Craig’s book is everything he is as a man: father, artist, and American soldier! He lives it daily and it’s an amazing journey that y’all need to take with him. I’m honored to call him friend and I know that you will love the ride he takes you on in this book! Godspeed, brother, and thanks for being an amazing example for us all!” --Gary LeVox, lead vocalist of Rascal Flatts “God, Family, Country is more than a memoir. Craig has truly proven to be a lion who has more than nine lives. If you can only read one book this year, this should be it.” --Robert Irvine, celebrity chef and talk show hostNot since Unbroken has a book captured my attention like this. I truly could not put it down. Craig’s honesty and humility makes one realize that God, Family, and Country completely sums up his life. It is a must-read and it made me even prouder to call him friend.” --Bill Engvall, actor, stand-up comedian, and member of the Blue Collar Comedy group Craig Morgan’s memoir will move you. I was inspired. --Blake Shelton Written with Jim DeFelice author of the #1 New York Times bestseller American Sniper! Country music icon, army veteran, father, outdoorsman -- Craig Morgan shares all aspects of his life, revealing stories even his most avid fans dont know. In 1989, as US news outlets declared an end to Operation Just Cause, Craig Morgan was part of an elite group of military operatives jumping into the jungle along the Panamanian border on a covert operation. Fans know the country music star from his hit songs and acclaimed albums, but theres a lot more to him -- a soldier who worked with the CIA in Panama, an undercover agent who fought sex traffickers in Thailand, and a dedicated family man who lives the values he sings. Craig details these many facets of his life and more in God, Family, Country. An on-stage appearance with his fathers band at age ten may have planted the seeds for life as a country star, but first he trained as a paratrooper in the army. After earning numerous distinctions, his path to sergeant major was all but assured. Then came a momentous decision: he left the active military to pursue music. With unwavering support from his wife and a pack of part-time jobs, he toughed out the lean years and achieved his first success with the poignant ballad Almost Home. Other hits soon followed, from party songs like Redneck Yacht Club to the soul-rending The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost. Born from the anguish of his son Jerrys passing, the songs tribute has consoled and inspired millions across the world. Duty to country has been a constant throughout his life and globe-spanning career. In 2006, as Thats What I Love about Sunday topped country radio charts, Craig was riding in a convoy of Humvees in Iraq. An avid outdoorsman, a former sheriffs deputy whos still a member of the auxiliary, and always a husband and father first, Craig Morgan will inspire you with his life lived by the deepest values: God, family, country.
