    I've read Chords of Strength multiple times and always discover something new. I loved reading about David's childhood and idol days but the last 3 chapters blew me away. How does someone so young have so much wisdom, insight, positivity, inspiration? This is a book for everyone. Thank you for making it available. It now travels with me :)

    I read the whole book and this book says what he's all about. A faithful man with God given talent. Sometimes, it's hard to believe how just a 20 year old has so much wisdom and rationality in his mind. Yes, he's not jaded and refuses to be so shallow for fame unlike so many celebrities. That's why he has many adult fans as well as young fans to look up to him. The genuinity, sincerity, purity and simply goodness of soul can be showing in his writing. Now serving a 2 year mission for God giving up fame and career, he really walks the talk.

    Ok, first, how could any of you rate a 4 star or below that? Just because you're a hater or what? Well let me tell you my review alright? I've known David Archuleta for a year now. Last year I found him on the radio, and thought hmm.. This dude can SING! So I decided to watch an interview of him. I thought he was so sweet, humble, and caring. But was that all just an act or something? I've never seen someone ever as nice and so... I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT! How the heck does someone have that kind of personality? I mean nobodys that perfect! But he is. I thought.. What could make him this way? *his parents.. Duhh* the way he got raised. Wait.. There's got to be more than that. You all know him as the American Idol kid right? (btw, HE AIN'T A A KID ANYMORE! HES 19!) Well David Archuleta had a life before that you know? All those things he's gone through had made him who he is. And I'd you're a hater and would rate this low even though you never read it, get yourself a life. He's had this amazing childhood that made him who he is now. Stop caring about how he looks. If you hate his voice fine,
  • Great read!

    This is book is amazing. It captures David's personality, drive, humor, and musical journey. Any fan would love this book, it pulls you next to David as if he is talking to you face to face. I've had it a few days and I just can't put it down! I'm almost done with it :p
