{"product_id":"sects-love-and-rock-joel-heng-hartse-9781498212557","title":"Sects, Love, and Rock \u0026 Roll: My Life on Record","description":"\"If this book moves, I hope it moves in the way pop songs do. There will be a lot of talk about songs, but inasmuch as this is a book about listening to music, it's also about how listening to music makes us who we are, or at least about how it makes me who I am, and so it is an exploration, an idiosyncratic and opinionated and particular one, of a self shaped by the oddly intersecting forces of the American evangelical Protestant church and the American popular music scene. I don't mean for that to sound hoity-toity--if this were fifteen years ago, I would say that this book was about Christian music, and I would know exactly what I meant. My purpose now is not only to talk about \"Christian music.\" I am not here to explicate Christian music, to explain why it exists and whether it is any good. Instead, think of what you're about to read as like an iPod playlist, a collection of essays and thoughts on listening to music and having faith and how they have made me, and a lot of people like me, and maybe you. Also, there will be some jokes about Stryper.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Heng Hartse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498212557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498212557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Joel Heng Hartse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48439456891135,"sku":"9781498212557","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f030b45f-37c2-4794-b26f-df643deb2a34.jpg?v=1777177743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sects-love-and-rock-joel-heng-hartse-9781498212557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
