Product Description
Tammy Faye is known for many things, including her steadfast faith, the scandal that rocked a nation, and those now-infamous eyelashes. But above all, she is a survivor. No matter how often life tried to push her down, Tammy Faye always landed on her high heels. From her appearances on national shows such as Larry King Live and Today, to her guest spots on Hollywood Squares and the award-winning documentary The Eyes of Tammy Faye, she has proven that she is here to stay.
Tammy Faye's journey has been a bumpy one-including divorce, cancer, addiction, and depression-but she has triumphed over it all, with her makeup intact. In I Will Survive . . . , she candidly recounts the lessons she's learned, surprising and delighting us with her unique insight on such topics as forgiveness, faith, and fashion.
Chock-full of lists, quotes, makeup tips, and "Tammy Faye-isms," I Will Survive . . . is a one-of-a-kind handbook for living a fabulous life.

Tammy Faye Messner's book is an affirmation of life based on her profound grasp of reality. As a quotation, 'I Will Survive... and You Will, Too!' is equalled only by Captain Smith of the 'Titanic' when he said to the ship's lookout, Reginald Lee, 'Rubbish, Reggie! The only ice around here is in my drink!'

I have read alot of books in my life time and let me tell you the last thing you can call me is religious. However this is a great book. I have never cried reading a book and yet somehow Tammy Fay made me cry. Her book is candid, honest and real. She talkes to you as if you were having a cup of coffee in her kitchen. You will love reading her life story, I did.

FABULOUS book that could only of been written by Tammy!Its not particularly deep as the title would suggest but it does touch points that I think anybody would understand and identify with. Its basically a collection of thoughts and feelings and stories. But they are unmistakably from Tammy Faye and her wit and sense of humor and general zest permeate everything! One of the truly well-written, personal books by a "celebrity" where one feels they really made a connection with the author. As somebody whose interests in Tammy come from her role as a gay icon, not a televangelist, the book can get preachy at times and if you're not into reading the Bible you'd better avoid whole sections of the book as the Bible and Christian ideas are oft-quoted and Tammy is clearly rooted in her faith. But I really feel that her faith is as much a part of her as her false eyelashes! In fact she is one of those Christians that really have that inner light they are all striving for and even if you don't agree with the particulars of her religion she has an undeniably beautiful spirit. OF COURSE most of the book IS about false eyelashes...and clothes and wigs and purses and shoes and shopping! Its just a hilariously fun ride through the mind of a hilariously fun person who has seen and survived alot!

I have been a fan of Tammy Faye since the PTL Club days. I use to watch her and Jim Bakker everyday on The Jim & Tammy Show on PTL. I have read all of her books. But out of her books this is probably my least favorite. I LOVED "Run To The Roar" it was a book that really changed my life on how to face my fears. She titles one of the chapters in this new book "Run Towards The Roar" but really never goes in full details of the story behind running to the roar. For those who haven't heard the story or read Run To The Roar I reccommend it.This book "I Will Survive" is a fun book. I enjoyed it very much. A few recipes, make up tips, wig tips, nail polish tips, bible scriptures, encouraging advice. Its more of a journal than a book on surviving personal trials though. The weakness of the book is some of the chapters are very short...and kinda leave you with a taste for more.But I do love the fact that it is a very simple book and very easy to read and understand. This one is a lot of fun...but instead of calling it "I Will Survive" it should be titled "Tammy's Little Journal For Inspiration". If you ever loved Tammy, pick it up. Its a lot of fun. If you want a book on the PTL scandal though & her biography..."Telling It My Way" is the book she wrote for that topic.
