Faith, God and Rock & Roll

Sometimes it is a fight to make your ideas and thoughts heard in the world we live in.

Sometimes people live with labels and stigma because they are placed in a category.
Faith, God and Rock & Roll discusses the impact of Christians on the mainstream music industry and their fight to be heard.

In Faith, God and Rock & Roll author Mark Joseph writes about their quest to “break out of the Christian subculture and affect the wider world with their music and their faith.” Joseph follows the careers, musical development and faith of several popular artists, such as U2, Jars of Clay and Creed.

With a simple and non-judgmental approach, he explores the dogma of these artists, and their impact and struggle with the music industry.
Faith, God and Rock & Roll is about Christian musicians and their journey of faith, fighting to make a difference and be heard in mainstream culture.

Joseph’s narrative style reads easily, written in a narrative non-fiction style. It follows stories, events and conversations of musicians that make an impact.
Faith, God and Rock & Roll is very similar to a biography but contains several insights into the lives and evolutions of bands.

Every chapter introduces a different artist or band, and remarks on the phenomena they have become.
Joseph provides an insightful, informative glance into Christian musicians’ lives and their faith.
Faith, God and Rock & Roll is a fascinating narrative, with its eyeopening look into music culture.
This is a must-read for anyone who is culturally aware.
