Publisher's summary

It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done - God wants a relationship with you.

Social media, television, video games, drugs, pornography - there is so much noise distracting us from what is important in life that it is nearly impossible to hear God’s truth that he will take you as you are. When we finally kill the noise of the world, we’ll discover in the silence a loving savior who is waiting to forgive us and offer us a purpose for our lives.

Ryan Ries is living proof of this truth. Growing up in Los Angeles as the son of a mega-church pastor but surrounded by the music, skate, and snowboard industries, Ryan felt a tug-of-war between the church and the world. It was in the skate and music culture that he found his passion and his identity. As a result, he walked away from God and dove headfirst into the world, losing his way in alcohol, drugs, and sex, which led to anxiety, brokenness, and emptiness.

Kill the Noise tells Ryan’s story about finding God in the messiness of life and lets you know how you too can find peace, joy, and purpose in Jesus Christ. This book will be a tool to help you kill the noise of the world so you can hear God’s voice telling you that he loves you and that you belong to him.

Critic reviews

Kill the Noise by my friend Ryan Ries is the definition of a maximum send for the Kingdom of God in the 21st century. This is a book about adventurously living with telos and purpose brimming over in your heart, as you bid farewell to religion and embrace an exciting friendventure with the God of hope. Read it. Get one for your friend. And skateboard with Ryan into the colony and outpost of heaven he’s creating on earth." (Ben Courson, founder of Hope Generation, international speaker, pastor, TV and radio personality, and best-selling author of Optimisfits and Flirting with Darkness)

“My friend Ryan Ries has always been very transparent about how his obsession with hard-core drug use and women permeated his former life to levels that would shock even the most seasoned partiers. But the biggest shocker is how God has completely redirected Ryan’s passion from party animal to displaying the real and tangible love of Christ to thousands of young people with the Whosoevers’ Kill the Noise tour! Kill the Noise isn’t just another book. Kill the Noise is a life-igniting tool that carries authentic power to guide the most wounded and defeated souls straight into this mystery of Christ within. The last thing the world needs right now is another watered-down religious book! We need raw. We need real. We need authentic. We need to KILL THE NOISE.” (Brian “Head” Welch, cofounder of the Grammy Award-winning band Korn, New York Times best-selling author of Save Me from Myself, Stronger, and With My Eyes Wide Open, and costar of the Showtime movie Loud Krazy Love)

“I’ve known Ryan for more than eleven years and will never forget the day I met him with my fiancé (at the time) Oz Fox. With tears in his eyes, he shared his incredible story of how God took his wild, rebellious heart and transformed it into a burning flame of love for God and His people. Raw, refreshing, and beautifully, brutally honest. That’s the only way I can describe Ryan’s radical story of transformation in Kill the Noise. This book will captivate you, inspire you, and motivate you to live and learn more about the amazing grace of God and the power of surrender. Like fresh wind from heaven, Ryan’s journey is masterfully and honestly written, full of twists and turns into the dark world of addiction and rock and roll. But, ultimately, it finds its way into the bright world of redemption and true liberty of the soul. Ryan is the real deal. He went above and beyond on this book…and I just could not put this down...neither will you!” (Annie Lobert, wife of Oz Fox (Stryper), founder and CEO of Hookers for Jesus and Annie’s Pink Chair)

Punk rock JESUS

Saved recently and it feels like every day is a new battle or struggle to stay away from my old ways. But as always GOD has a way of putting the tools I need on my path. I had been struggling with thoughts and anxiety's put in my head by the enemy today. It felt so loud in my head. I just kept repeating there so much noise in my head stop the noise JESUS! Went on about with my day and this youtube video pops up about your book. I listen and the name of your book is KILL THE NOISE. Finished in one day!

GOD amazes me more everyday.
May GOD continue to bless you and your family 🙏

Wow wow and wow

Such an amazing book. I just happen to be going through a hard time with my walk with Christ. I feel like I’ve been in this battle. I decided to get the audio version because I like to listen when I travel. Every time I hit play it was like God was speaking directly to me confirming things that he already said. One example is the chapter on false idols, how I had a false idol that was blocking my relationship with God and I had to repent. God is so good and thank you for your obedience, because so many are benefiting from the fruit that u are reaping!

Really listen

Gonna be honest. Thought it was just gonna be another story to listen to or just something to pass the time. Let me tell you now that I’ve listened to it 2 times, you really have to listen and pay attention. Not only did it open my eyes, but made me rethink my way of life. I know it sounds cliché but it’s the truth. My first time in a Christian church just so happened to be a day Ryan was speaking. Been converted ever since. But now I have a better understanding of what it really means to be a Christian. Multiple times this book made me tear up and just had to stop just to talk to god and ask for forgiveness. Hands down my favorite book.

Awesome & down to Earth!

I recently had the chance to meet Ryan when he came and talk to the kids at the Fort Bend County Juvenile Detention Center Partman where I work. Very down to earth and easy to approach and is truly walking the walk for Jesus! Awesome book! I wish I would’ve had it 10 years ago for my kids!

Great Book to encourage you to live for Jesus

Really enjoyed the book, I listen to it while driving out of the country. Highly recommend this book if you’re looking to read and see how to truly live out for Jesus. I’ve been listening to Ryan Reese for years since he started his ministry it’s amazing to hear how God uses anyone and we could be used the same like him we just need to be obedient.
