A Mess of Help: From the Crucified Soul of Rock N' Roll

In his debut book, writer and blogger David Zahl riffs on the intersection of music, memoir, and theology to create a fresh and colorful series of essays that truly stands alone. Constructed like an album, A Mess of Help surveys some of pop s most eccentric icons in hopes of finding answers to both the small questions ( Who am I? ) and the big ones ( What about Michael Jackson? ), unearthing timeless wisdom even as it entertains. So if you ve ever wondered how fundamentalism sparked Guns N Roses, what ABBA can do for your marriage, or why Brian Wilson built his sandbox, open your heart and drop the needle.
