    About this audiobook

    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.

    Anthony Evans

    Anthony Evans has voiced the gospel with a melodic, thought-provoking style for two decades and has emerged as one of Christian music's premier worship leaders and singer/songwriters. Along the way, he has released ten solo projects, two of which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Album charts, released the book Unexpected Places, produced numerous music videos, acted in three movies, and performed as Beast in the Disney Hollywood Bowl production of Beauty and the Beast. Anthony received his first Grammy nomination for his executive production work on the gospel album My Tribute. He has collaborated with his father, beloved pastor and international speaker Dr. Tony Evans, his sisters, Priscilla Shirer and Chrystal Evans Hurst, along with his brother, Jonathan Evans, in the book Divine Disruption and in many inspirational events. Anthony's appearance on NBC's The Voice led him to perform and produce vocals for various major artists and networks. He also has been enlisted as a talent producer for popular reality and competition shows. His powerful, one-of-a-kind voice has allowed him not only to vibrate the doors of the church but also to venture beyond them.
