Newsboys United and Zealand man Phil Joel pens book

GRAMMY-nominated singer, bass player and member of Newsboys United and
Zealand, Phil Joel,
will have his first book published on 16th April. Redwoods And Whales:
Becoming Who You Actually Are will be published by Thomas Nelson's
Emanate Books, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing.
Talking about the book, which takes in such subjects as depression,
addiction and suicide, Joel said, "I never intended to write a book at
all. It wasn't some kind of bucket list thing, I simply had an
experience in northern California that I felt prompted to write down
and then somehow it kept going and growing from there. Slowly, after
I'd connected a bunch of dots, it began to shape into something that I
felt might be helpful for anyone feeling stranded and a little
disoriented in life. I hope the book will inspire people to pursue a
life with God in the centre."
