Publisher Description
Unexpected Places is the personal story of gospel singer Anthony Evans, son of well-known pastor Tony Evans and brother of author Priscilla Shirer. In this intimate and moving memoir, Anthony shares the details of his struggles with depression and doubt, and encourages readers with the unique story of his search for purpose and identity.
From growing up duty-bound to his name, to his time as a finalist and then talent producer on The Voice, Anthony explores the pressures he experienced as a child and as a young man in Hollywood. He describes the journey to his renewed faith in God and exposes the vast differences between what the world teaches us to value and how God values us. Anthony examines what his parents did right in raising him but also describes how they unknowingly missed his pain. Finally, he reveals how God orchestrated His plan to grow Anthony into a man who is in love with his life, his heritage, and his individual calling.
Anthony has learned to embrace the incredible beauty of his unique voice. In Unexpected Places, he invites readers on their own journey to do the same.

One of my best books
Amazing so touching and real
Beauty in honesty.
I’m a long-standing fan of Anthony Evans’ music, but after reading his book, I’m now an even bigger fan of the man. I appreciate his transparency. There’s beauty in sharing our struggles and Anthony’s willingness to be real and raw draws us in. Knowing God has been faithful in Anthony’s life gives us hope that He will be faithful in ours.
Thank you for being real!
The book title is so appropriate, because God’s ways are not ours so He takes us to unexpected places. I appreciated the real ness, loved the scripture verse at the beginning of each chapter. Anthony’s vulnerability and transparency made me connect to his journey. The overall message was centered around Gods love, hope and forgiveness. It reminded me of the importance of being still, completely surrendering, to always be real, to give back to others, to keep the main thing the main thing and to keep pressing on. Thanks for sharing your life story! Meshia. 👍🏽
