Rock & Roll and the Rock of Ages: Paying Homage to the Ultimate Rebel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966561040)

Were the 60s and the 70s the best era for rock & roll music? Admittedly biased, Frank Garrott thinks so. Do several of the best-known songs of that period make references to Jesus, the Rock of Ages? A surprising number do - some direct; some subtle. In his book "Rock & Roll and the Rock of Ages," Garrott explores the intersection of nine rock & roll classics and the Christian faith. The focus is on the lyrics and what the Bible has to say about the words these artists wrote - most affirming Jesus in some fashion and a few dismissing Him. Surprising background information and anecdotes jump off the pages as you get to know the artists. Those profiled in this book had a rebel spirit, which explains why they seem to have forged a connection with the ultimate rebel, Jesus Christ. This book will take you on an uplifting journey, one with unexpected twists and turns, as you consider Jesus through the lens of rock music, as well as His own words.
