This book is a 40-day devotional led by a former member of the band Korn. Welch was into a bunch of unhealthy things while he was in the band, and one day he found Jesus and started a new life. It hasn't been all sunshine and roses, and this book takes a day by day journey through some of those events.
The writing is very conversational and easy to read. If you imagine what talking to a member of a rock band would be like, that's what you're reading. By that, I mean it's not like talking to a dictionary or some fancy professor. It's like talking to a real person. The Scriptures used are a mix of different versions, and I've never really been a fan of that. Personal preference.
I appreciate Welch's ability to be honest about himself and his shortcomings. If only all of us were so transparent. Welch also came out with an autobiography, so if you're looking for a complete picture of his experiences, that might be the place to go. There were also drawings sprinkled throughout the book. Some made sense with the text, and others were a mystery to me. This one gets a Good Book! review, but it's not going to be for everyone.
