Additional Washed by Blood: Lessons from My Time with Korn and My Journey to Christ Information

An Out-of-Control Rock Star. An Inescapable Addiction to Drugs. A Miraculous Redemption through Jesus Christ.

You think you've heard this story before but you haven't. Washed by Blood is a look at the dramatic saving power of Jesus Christ unlike any other—one that shows how God looks out for all of us, even those who seem farthest away from his grace.

Brian "Head" Welch was a rock star who thought he had it all. He was the lead guitarist in Korn, one of the biggest and most controversial rock bands on the planet. He lived in a mansion, had millions of dollars in the bank, and legions of fans all over the globe.

He was living the good life, and it should have been perfect. But it was all a lie.

What no one knew was that backstage and away from the crowds, Head was fighting a debilitating addiction to methamphetamines, and that nothing—not even the birth of his daughter—could make him quit for good. He had given up. He was empty inside. He spent his days contemplating suicide convinced that each high would be his last.

And that was when he found God.

Washed by Blood tells the remarkable story of how God's unconditional love freed Head from his addictions and saved him from death. Here Head describes the joys and struggles of his journey to faith, detailing how Jesus has helped him cope with his pain and find the path that's right for both him and his daughter. An account of triumphs, hardships, and the healing power of Jesus, Washed by Blood is an inspirational demonstration that God is always there to save even the most troubled souls.

What Customers Say About Washed by Blood: Lessons from My Time with Korn and My Journey to Christ:

I bought it for my son;its the second book of his we own. Love it.

This book offers an inside look at fame and how it can detsroy you if you're not strong in your relationship with God. By "humanizing" a famous rock star, teens especially can benefit from learning that they are not alone with their daily struggles with peer pressure and wanting to feel loved and needed. At the end of each chapter, the reader finds a list of thought provoking questions that help them to learn more about themselves and the love God has for them. I strongly recommend this book for teenagers and the parents who love them.

Head is such a beautiful man. I am just awestruck by him. He is inspirational.

There are slight differences, and to be completely honest, it's been a while since I read "Save Me" so it's nice to remind myself of the amazing journey that this man has been through. Yes, this book is nearly the same as "Save Me From Myself." I read the previous, and thought it was very good. That being said, I'm reading "Washed" right now, and find it to be just as good the second time around. Both books are very good. Just remember that they are extremely similar before you buy this and give it a bad review.

Like many others, I purchased both books thinking that they were different ("Washed" being the sequal), but as you know from reading the other reviews, they're basically the same book. I also like how at the end of each chapter there discussion questions. High boys at our church, and each semester we study books together and meet once a week to do discussion questions on what we've read. I felt like I had been duped by the publisher.especially since the front cover of "Washed" says that it's by the author of "Save Me From Myself" and the back cover says "You think you've heard this story before but you haven't". Also, I would never encourage them to read "Save Me From Myself", but "Washed By Blood" on the other hand is clean, slightly abridged, and the discussion questions make this a book that i'd definately like to study with them. Yes, I have. My initial reaction was frustration. I lead a small group for the Jr.

It was called "Save Me From Myself". I think that instead of giving different titles and cover pictures to the books, they should have simply released them as the same book; one being the "Adult" version and the other being the "Teen" or "Young Adult" version with a simple explaination of the differences.Upon closer comparison, I felt a bit better about "Washed" leaving the vulgar language and graphic details out, but in essence still delivering the same message. Most of the teens in the group are really into music, and I think a book like "Washed By Blood" would hold their attention a lot more than some other books. So there's a good possibility i'll be ordering several more copies of "Washed By Blood" to use for our group study, but even if we don't end up doing it together i'd still highly recommend it to them.So if you know a teen who loves music, or even an adult who might not want to read all of the graphic details about sex and drugs, this is the better choice of the two books to recommend to them.
