From Fear to Faith

The autobiography of musician and evangelist Joanne Cash Yates, with a foreword by her brother Johnny Cash and an afterword by Larry Gatlin.

Joanne Cash Yates’ spiritual life closely parallels that of her famous brother, the late Johnny Cash.

They both pushed their physical, mental, and spiritual endurance to the limit with pill and alcohol abuse. They found themselves on death’s door but eventually got their feet back on solid ground through the intervention of God in their lives.

Joanne begins her story where all the Cashes began: in rural Dyess, Arkansas, where the death of brother Jack at the age of 14 and a high school marriage to an abusive husband kindled within her a suffocating sense of fear, depression, spiritual malaise, and drug dependency.

Salvation was slow but it come, starting with an intervention by brother Johnny and then ultimate redemption through the forgiveness of Christ and Joanne’s call to establish an evangelical ministry and preach across both the United States and Canada in a motor home.

In 1990, Joanne and her second husband, Dr. Harry Yates, founded the Cowboy Church in Nashville. It began with six people gathered together in the lounge of a Holiday Inn. Today, it is a fast-moving, interdenominational service featuring country music artists performing their favorite gospel songs.

With a foreword by Johnny Cash and an afterword by Larry Gatlin, All My Fears Are Gone is an inspirational story of recovery and redemption.
