Book Reviews of Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock
Book Review: Body piercing, HxC and Jesus
Summary: 5 Stars
As an R.S student, I'm constantly trying to find out more about Christianity, particuarly how it fits into the 21st century. When I came across this book, I didn't know what to think, but I bought it anyway. I'm so glad I did.
Andrew Beaujon writes this book from a somewhat atheist point of view, and explains that he is in no way trying to endorse Christianity, but rather explore the hazy and somewhat confusing genre of Christian rock music. On his journey, Beaujon travels to Christian festivals, talks to artists, record label managers, preachers, and to kids who worship to guitars and heavy riffs.
One thing I loved about this book was that it didn't just look at how Christian rock music is today, but how it got started and the artists who shaped the scene.
Overall, I would recommend this for anyone looking to learn a little more about the world of Christian rock music and how Christian music has moved with the times.
