BIG BOYS DON’T CRY
By Nick Battle
Authentic Media. 166 pages
ISBN 978-1-86024-612-8

The author has led a life which is totally alien to me, mixed with show-biz people whose names are familiar, but hold little interest for me, and so at first glance this book would not touch my life. However, some life experiences are common to all of us: pain, sorrow at the loss of a loved one, the need for companionship, understanding and love and the desire to make sense of tragedy when it occurs.

Nick Battle has spent his life in the modern music business and freely admits that he has sometimes led life ‘on the edge’. He is very honest about his mistakes and affirms throughout the book his reliance on God, his own state as a sinner, but his joy in knowing that he is accepted by God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
