Customer Reviews

Good insight into the music world

This book is a very good resource for parents of children who are immersed in the secular rock culture, and for people who have friends that are. There is a good background on many of the dangers and mindset of those in the secular rock culture, as well as a list of Christian alternatives. There is also a fairly comprehensive list of individual artists with explanations of their worldviews based on their lyrics. Some Christian artists are included, but their descriptions, though good, are not very specific and become repetitive. If you and your family are into Christian music and are safe from the dangers listed therein, this book may be an interesting read, but not necessary reading. You may feel the need to, in the authors words, "purify your hearts" against what you have read. The book does not contain four letter words spelled out, but the descriptions are adequate enough.

IT IS AN AWESOME BOOK IT HAS HELPED ME ALOT!

YOUR BOOK IS SO AWESOME! I LOVE IT! IT HAS HELPED ME SEE AND REALIZE THAT WHAT I WAS LISTENING TO WAS EFFECTING MY CHRISTIAN WALK. I WISH I COULD JUST FORCE SOME OF MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS TO READ IT (THE ONES THAT ARE LISTENING TO LIKE KORN AND METALLICA) I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE YOUR BOOK! I GOT IT AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT AND I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BEST PRESENTS ANYONE COULD GET. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING SUCH A HEART AND DEVOTION TO GOD THAT YOU COULD WRITE THIS BOOK IT HAS REALLY HELPED ME GOD BLESS!
