Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock

Up until Junior High, I was not allowed to listen to "secular" music, so this book was really interesting to me. Andrew Beaujon interviews Steve Taylor, discusses Stryper, Petra, DC talk, and other Christian artists I remember. In addition to giving a competent history of Christian music, Andrew Beaujon also takes a reader on a tour of the current Christian Rock scene, which has become much more diverse. Apparently Christian Rock no longer sucks as much as it did when I was growing up.
