David in 'Why I'm a Mormon' book!

From Deseret Book:

Why I’m a Mormon is a collection of fascinating, individual journeys of faith by dozens of stalwart, modern Mormons—some prominent, others less well-known but no less impressive. Contributors share brief reflections on how their feelings about the gospel and their involvement in the Church have shaped and enriched their lives. These vignettes are from Latter-day Saints who are faithfully and successfully navigating these troubled, secular, sometimes dark and temptationladen times. The book includes expressions from successful business leaders, entertainers, sports figures, authors, and many others, including Jane Clayson Johnson, David Archuleta, Steve Young, Larry Gelwix, Brandon Mull, Anne Perry, Dave Rose, Stephanie Nielson, and Alex Boyé. While other Latter-day Saints are the primary audience for this book, the essays in this book should resonate with all people of faith. Given the increasing national and international attention focused on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this book will provide a window into the modern-day Church for journalists and others interested in the phenomenon of the rise of Mormonism.

A fan's perspective

A Fan's Perspective on Artist David Archuleta

Authored by Pamela Pike

Every now and then, a powerfully gifted performer emerges and resonates well beyond his exceptional voice. He puts forth a shining example of kindness and humility. He taps into his talents to lift up those who are in need. And, above all, he nurtures a deep spirituality that is an inspiration to all who follow him. For fans like author Pamela Pike, such is the impact of breakthrough American Idol star David Archuleta, whose musical genius catapulted him to fame at the young age of sixteen. Today, he continues to create phenomenal music, while also serving as a rare role model for a life lived with integrity, charity, faith, and heart.

Through Our Eyes, Pike's rousing tribute to this exceptional young man, explores Archuleta's profound and singular musical craft, as well as his exemplary code of living. Through interviews with the performer's colleagues, an overview of the star's numerous charitable acts, essays from passionate fans of all ages, and an intimate portrait of the author's own discovery of the American Idol contestant with the gentle soul, this tender testament to the influence of one exceptional individual is certain to capture the heart of anyone who has been struck by him.

Beginning with a probing look at our country's fascination with celebrity, Pike makes a case for those high-profile personalities who use their prominence for a greater good. Pike then explores the role of social media in fandom, including the wealth of videos on You Tube, as well as Archuleta's congenial Twitter posts. From there, Pike details the impressive charity work undertaken by the young star, including his involvement with Do Something and Rising Star Outreach. The author also shares insider interviews that Pike has conducted with leading figures in the music industry who have worked closely with Archuleta including: Michael Orland, associate music director of American Idol; photographer Jake Chessum, who shot "The Other Side of Down"; Dean Kaelin, Archuleta's voice coach; and songwriter/arranger Kurt Bestor.

Through Our Eyes culminates with the author's personal journey of discovery, and how she came to understand the uncommon character of this shining star. Relating her experience of watching him perform songs like "Imagine," she also tells of her own encounters with the performer at engagements in the States and abroad. Time and again, always taking the time to graciously accommodate her and other fans with photos and kind words.

By casting a spotlight on Archuleta's depth of spirituality and generosity of hope, Through Our Eyes offers an inside look at a beautiful soul with a brilliant future, portrayed with a stirring emotion that will move anyone who appreciates David Archuleta's rare gifts of music and heart. Readers will relish every page of this joyful tribute.

And some buzz from Disney Dreaming:

Little tidbit from an old interview + Paperback COS available Tuesday!

From Behance.net:

Interviewing David Archuleta was very interesting. He was camera shy! I couldn't believe it. It took me eight minutes to get him to sing for the camera. But after all is said and done, I left that interview knowing that some celebrities like Archuleta are humble, down to earth people.

And speaking of COS, the paperback version is available Tuesday! You can pre-order it on Amazon!

Paperback Chords of Strength!

I went on Barnes And Noble's site and searched David and this came up:

I guess this is the paperback cover? Because the original COS doesn't have "New York Times Bestseller" on it. The paperback is available May 3rd, and you can pre-order the paperback HERE!

Nice COS mention

While, this news shouldn't "necessarily make my brain implode," given that Danielle Staub of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" and David Archuleta of "American Idol" have already published memoirs, it does "raise some questions," says Keith Staskiewicz in Entertainment Weekly. "For example, 'How much will she talk about Levi?' Or, 'Can it possibly sell as well as her mother's books?' And even, 'Is continued existence worth it now that we know that something like this is possible?'"
