She didn't set out to be a pioneer. She just said yes.
Before Contemporary Christian Music had a name, Nancy Honeytree Miller was already on the road, barefoot, braided, guitar in hand, singing songs that would help define a generation's faith. As one of the first women to rise to prominence in the Jesus Movement, she didn't follow a path. She helped build one.
Pioneer: The Honeytree Story traces Nancy's journey from a musically rich but fractured home in Davenport, Iowa, through the countercultural fires of the early 1970s, into coffeehouses, festivals, and stages across the world. It's the story of a young woman who found Jesus before Christian music was an industry, signed with a major label before she fully understood what that meant, and kept singing long after the spotlight moved on.
But this is more than music history. It's a story about obedience over ambition. About wilderness seasons that turned out to be preparation. About what it looks like to keep saying yes to God when the road gets quiet and what happens when He calls you back out again.
With warmth, humor, and disarming honesty, Nancy's story speaks to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, wondered if their best days were behind them, or needed a reminder that God's call doesn't have an expiration date.
Featuring reflections from fellow Jesus Music pioneers - including Phil Keaggy, Tommy Coomes, and Randy Matthews - Pioneer captures a revival generation's story while issuing a bold challenge: the song isn't over. The pioneer still leads.
Perfect for fans of Christian music history, memoir readers, and anyone hungry to remember, or discover, what happened when a generation of barefoot seekers found Jesus.Also in
