How Sweet the Sound
How Sweet the Sound
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.”
When Cissy Houston sings “Amazing Grace” on her 1997 Grammy Award-winning album, Face to Face, her soul-stirring passion leaves no doubt that this is a woman blessed with a beautiful voice and a life story to be shared. In How Sweet the Sound: My Life with God and Gospel, Cissy tells of the good and the bad of life with as much emotion and depth as she sings her beloved gospel music.

God Bless the Child,
I have always been fascinated throughout the years by Ms. Houston’s voice, but somehow, she was surpassed and her daughter has attatined all the success. I was delighted when I saw the book on the shelf and could not put the book down. I think the book was well written and she tackled her subjects with taste and dignity. Despite her lack of success, I respect how she humbled herself to shower praises on other artists, including Aretha Franklin, who she accompanied on numerous of her classic recordings. This book also shows the struggles that she endured as a struggling performer raising a family. I admire the fact that she did not neglect her parental duties and molded her children to exhibit class and respect (which Whitney is now losing I must add), which I can respect and appreciate. I wish her all continued success. I recommend the purchase.

|Book-How Sweet The Sound –By Cissy Houston,
I had ordered two gospel cd’s by Mrs Cissy Houston and they were soooo anointed. As I was listening to them, I said, this lady has really been through something to have such anointed songs. So, when I saw her book on the internet, I ordered it, and I couldn’t put it down until I had finished it. The book was so touching. She went through alots but, her faith in God brought her through. She is such a strong woman. Whitney Houston is blessed to have a mother like this. I would recommend this book to everyone who is going through trials. She lets you know, that through prayer and faith in God you can come through any situation victorious.
