"We Be Big" Book Review

                                                      

We Be Big:   

The Mostly True Story

of How Two Kids from Calhoun County, Alabama,

Became Rick and Bubba 

By Rick Burgess and Bill Bussey

with Don Keith

About the Book:
The story of two unlikely radio hosts and what happened when they followed their faith and instincts.  Rick & Bubba are the most unlikely broadcast stars imaginable, yet hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners start their day with them every morning. Beyond that, they break the biggest no-no rule for secular radio as they openly share their faith in Christ and their common-sense way of looking at the world. Now, in We Be Big: The Mostly True Story of How We Became Rick & Bubba, readers learn how this unlikely pairing came about. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, this is also the highly personal story of two men who—like most of us—resisted stepping through the doors God opened for them, opting for the easier path when tested. When they finally decided to follow their instincts and their faith, though, not only did they became amazingly successful, but also a truly powerful platform became theirs.

My Review:
Being from Georgia I have heard of Rick and Bubba however I have never heard their show before so I really had no idea about what this book would be like.  It is an autobiographical story told from both mens perspective.  It starts with their childhood and those first backyard radio broadcasts and takes you right on through to that first meeting in spanish class and then the different paths that each took that eventually led them back to together and how the Rick and Bubba show got its start.  I love that the glory for it all goes to God and these guys aren't afraid to let you know.  This is a definite must for the Rick and Bubba fan.  We Be Big is published by Thomas Nelson.
