About this listen

He left KoRn to help himself. He went back to help others. And along the way, he nearly lost everything.

A life-changing spiritual awakening freed Brian "Head" Welch from a stranglehold of drugs and alcohol and prompted him to leave the highly successful nu-metal band KoRn in 2005. What followed was a decade-long trial by fire, from the perils of fathering a teen lost in depression and self-mutilation to the harsh realities of playing solo and surviving the shattering betrayal of a trusted friend. In this intensely inspiring redemption saga, perhaps most inspiring is Brian's radical decision to rejoin KoRn and reconcile with the tribe of people he once considered family in the metal music scene.

Brian returned to his musical roots with a clear head and a devoted heart. Though his story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself as long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit.

He should read for a living

My wife loved Korn when we were teens, and as devoted followers of Christ, found Heads conversion intriguing. I bought this to listen with her while on prolonged family drives, expecting it to be another example of me forcing her to listen to something edifying, but man was I wrong. The narration alone made this a joy to listen to, with Head doing a downright charming job of impersonating the various persons who color his story and life. In the end, this is a book that will inspire, encourage, entertain, and give hope. As an adult it is easy to feel that the younger people who still listen to "darker" music and the people who play it for them are far from God's love. The story of Brian Head Welch reminds us that there is nowhere God is not actively loving people, and no one he can't redeem and use for His ultimate glory.

Awesome!

I bought this book to actually share it with my cousin who is a Korn fan and it ended up blessing me. I'm so inspired by his love for the Lord and his transparency in light of mistakes, bad decisions, and personal flaws and the humor and humbleness with which he relates it. Also, the story of the relationship with his daughter touched me too being a father of a 12 yr old daughter. This is an awesome book and now I'm going to check out his first book!

If you're debating it. Stop and just get it

Really loved the honesty and the openess Head puts forth in both of his books. I also loved hearing him read it. Really worth every cent.

Powerful

Wow. To hear Brian telling his story, as someone who has been abused, been an abuser, now a parent & still metal scene lover, was powerful. Jesus is good, & REAL. I hope that more people read this to hear his heart & the King Brian let sit on it.
