When you hear the name, Jim Sonefeld, you probably are cluless as to who that is. Sonefeld (or "Soni" as he is nicknamed) is one of the founding members and drummer for the band Hootie and the Blowfish.
Along with lead singer, Darius Rucker, Sonefeld and his bandmates traveled the world and performed for millions of fans. As young millionaires, the guys of Hootie could have anything they wanted — girls, alcohol, drugs; and Sonefeld wanted it all.

He struggled with alcoholism for about a decade in which he fathered two children and divorced his first wife. But ultimately he started attending 12-step meetings, gave up booze, remarried, and recommitted himself to God and family.
Sonefeld has now decided to give Christian music a try releasing an EP entitled Found earlier this year. With a Hootie reunion in the works, "Soni" is hoping to tell the world of his long journey back from the brink with music.
Reflection: The article, written by Mark Moring of Christianity Today, was well written. The part that made the article great was how the writer made it into a Q&A session with Sonefeld. That made the article easier to read and it gave deeper insight into Sonefeld's long journey to recovery.
