It’s an honor as well as a privilege to recommend Mylon Le Fevre’s new book to you. This is a must-read for anyone
who wants to see how the Lord can transform a life. Mylon’s straight-up honesty is so much like the Apostle Paul.
The story of his life is a compelling one that he tells in such a way that gives hope for anyone who will call on
Jesus. This is a powerful read that will impact and touch men and women inside prison — whether that prison is a
physical one or not.

Mylon’s journey is captivating. I could not put this book down! I traveled with him from his Christian childhood to
his descent into darkness—and finally, to his personal encounter with Jesus. As his pastor, his story deeply touched
my heart and will surely touch yours. He is living proof that God’s love can resurrect even the most desperate life.

I became friends with Mylon back in the ‘70s when we were both trying to survive the hazards of the music
industry! Mylon’s story is the real deal! From early gospel roots to the King of Rock & Roll, and finally to the
King of kings! LIVE FOREVER is an amazing true story of redemption and a must-read for anyone who has lost
their way in life’s journey!

I have known Mylon Le Fevre for over 30 years, as both his entertainment lawyer and as his friend. I have seen his
maturity as a human being, and observed his pursuit of his faith as it changed his life. I believe LIVE FOREVER
is a true expression of his life and that others will learn from his experiences. The book is a good read; it is
heartwarming, it is human, and it makes one think about what is truly important in one’s life.

I have always sensed the presence of the Divine in my friend, Mylon. He had all the ingredients to be one of the
elite rock stars but his calling was always from far beyond the stars.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Grammy and Dove Award-winning musician, Mylon Le Fevre is widely recognized by music historians as one of
the most influential forerunners to the Contemporary Christian Music genre. He was born into the legendary gospel-
singing family, The Le Fevres. When Mylon was 17 years old, his first song, “Without Him,” was recorded by Elvis
Presley. Over the next year, 126 artists recorded Mylon’s songs. At 19 years old he made his first album and has sold
millions since then. His highly acclaimed 1969 album, “We Believe” on Cotillion Records, was the first ever to be
released by a Christian rock band on a major secular label.
In 2004, Mylon was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Life Christian University. In 2005, he was inducted into
the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame and in 2007; he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
Today he is a nationally known speaker and teacher of the Word of God. He and his wife, Christi, travel together
internationally, ministering in churches, revivals, rallies and crusades. They make their home in Fort Worth, Texas.
FOREWORD
This book is the true story of a simple uneducated kid from Georgia whose dreams all came true. From his lonely,
angry childhood, he wrote and sang music as a way to express his deepest feelings. While in the Army, at age 17,
Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs which opened doors around the world to castles, stadiums, arenas, movies,
TV, etc. From then on his life was a whirlwind-ride of a rock and roll fantasy that he couldn’t make up if he tried.
This is Mylon’s story, in its entirety, for the first time in print, with over 100 photos, and lyrics to 15 of his most
popular songs. From playing stadiums, coliseums and getting high with some of the biggest rock stars in the world,
to being strung out on heroin and cocaine, he was trapped in a seemingly hopeless pit of depression and loneliness.
It’s all here, the good, the bad and the ugly. Mylon finally found what he was looking for, but it wasn’t in drugs,
money or fame... he found God. Not religion, but rather a loving Heavenly Father who forgave him and filled him
with purpose and hope.
