The Authorized Biography Of The Greenes
Written byMike Collins

This is a great book about a beloved Southern Gospel family. Mike Collins has authored a very deep yet compassionate book about the Greenes. He starts at the beginning with the life and dreams of Dad, Everett Greene. You will see how the family develops and grows into Everett’s dream. You will see how that dream is passed on to his children. Tim, Kim, and Tony.

Mike leads you through their triumphs and disappointments. You will go with them as they find their future mates and the complications of combining two musical families. You will go through all of the personnel changes and the tough decisions in making those choices.

Also in this book you will live through the births of their children as well as the battle that Tim has been facing healthwise. You will certainly have a better understanding of where this family has been, where they are and where they are going. You will even get some funny funeral parlor stories from Tony, and some of the embarrassing moments that TaRanda must face being the wife of Tony Greene.

All in all you will laugh and cry as you enjoy reading this book about a well loved family in Southern Gospel Music. If you still have special present that you need to buy for that Southern Gospel Music fan, this one will be perfect.

FIVE STARS! FIVE STARS! I bought this title at the Singing Greenes' Gospel Jubilee last fall, signed by Tony, Kim and TaRanda. Tim even signed my copy before the concerts started. I couldn't put it down! I read it ALLLL in one long night. Get yourself a copy!

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful comments about this book. The review really touched my heart.

When writing the book, I remember tears blurring my vision while I typed and listened to certain portions of the previously recorded interviews with group members and family. I also remember laughing at some things as if I'd heard them for the first time. My wife and dog must have thought I was crazy!

Again, thank you for the kind words and I hope every Southern Gospel fan gets a chance to read this incredible story.

God bless,
Mike Collins

I weeped over some of the things this precious family went through. For example, I never realized what a difficult thing it was for Kim to leave the Greenes and join the Hoppers. That whole situation was so tention-filled and sad I struggled to continue. On the other hand, Tony Greene is one of the funniest humans on the planet!

I also appreciated finding out more about Tim Greene's health problems.

This is a really good book. It's also very inspiring. I am especially pleased that the Greenes included the Plan of Salvation at the end of the book.

Thanks for the review!!!

I LOVE the Greenes, and I look forward to reading this book. I am purchasing a copy next time I see the GREENES in concert. I have met them all in the past and I think they are the real deal. My thoughts and prayers are with Tim Greene at this time.

You have peeked my curiosity! I WILL BUY THIS BOOK!

It's a really good book, and of course I like the Greenes a whole lot. Of the groups out there that desrve accolades and positive press, the Greene family is one of them, when you consider what they've gone through. May God continue to bless them!

I encourage anyone who has not read this book to grab a copy.
