Man In White. Signed by Johnny Cash. First Edition, First Printing. Harper & Row. New York, 1986.

Johnny Cash is one of America’s most influential and iconic musicians of all time. In the mid-twentieth century, he was instrumental in bridging various genres with country music, including rock & roll, blues, folk, and gospel. His signature bass-baritone voice, brilliant songwriting, and forward-thinking tastes and politics made him one of the most popular artists of his era. For his contributions, he won numerous Grammy awards and has been inducted into several halls of fame, including those for Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel. In Man In White, however, Cash demonstrates a new outlet for his artistic abilities. It is a novel–a Christian narrative, historical fiction, and a devotional all wrapped into one. It tells the story of the apostle Paul and his relationship with Jesus. The work showcases Cash’s religious beliefs as well as his talent for prose. For many Cash fans, it is a celebrated glimpse into his religious nature.
