The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her
grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was
filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match
she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church.
What she found there was the Reason she is alive today.
With raw vulnerability, this hard rock princess tells her own story
of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and more--and her
ultimate salvation. She asks the hard questions so many young
people are asking--"Why am I here?" "Why am I empty?" "Why should I
go on living?"--showing readers that beyond the temporary highs and
the soul-crushing lows there is a reason they exist and a purpose
for their lives. She not only gives readers a peek down the rocky
path that led her to become a vocalist in a popular hardcore band,
but she shows them that the same God is guiding their steps today.
Discussing the chaotic end to his time in Korn and how his newfound
faith has influenced his relationship with his daughter, his life
and his music, Head describes the challenging but rewarding events
of the last two years, exposing the truth about how his moments of
doubt and his hardships have only deepened his faith. Candid,
compelling and inspirational, this is a rock 'n' roll journey like
no other.
In the summer of 2007, Brian "Head" Welch, the former lead
guitarist for the rock band Korn, took the music world by storm
with his New York Times bestselling autobiography, Save Me from
Myself. Recounting his years in the band, his debilitating
addiction to drugs, and his unprecedented salvation through Jesus,
Head's story gave strength to a whole generation of Christians
through its uplifting tale of real world excess, spiritual reward,
and the power of God.
Now, Head has written a young adult companion to his bestseller,
sharing his inspirational story of rock, addiction, and redemption
with Christian teens across the country. Here Head talks openly
about his shocking embrace of God, examining the signs that had
been leading him to Jesus for his entire life and the circumstances
that caused him to miss them. Discussing the difficulties of his
childhood and teenage years, Head describes how his struggles with
bullies, his inability to fit in, and his substance abuse which
plagued him from a young age all combined to take him in the wrong
direction. Eventually, he took refuge in the group of friends that
would become Korn, a group of high school outcasts and a musical
misfits like himself-kids who shared not only his taste in clothes
but also his dream to be a rock star.
Offering readers a backstage pass to Korn's success, Head speaks
honestly about the toll that his fame took on his psyche and his
addiction to methamphetamines that drove him to the darkest times
of his life. Instead of saving him, fame had failed him, and the
ceaseless routine of recording, traveling, and partying only
succeeded in placing him in a cycle of addiction that he could not
break on his own.Despite his numerous attempts to free himself from
meth, nothing-not even the birth of his daughter-could spur him to
kick it for good.
Here Head explains how with the help of God, he emerged from this
dangerous lifestyle and found a path that was not only right for
his daughter, it was right for him. Discussing how his newfound
faith has influenced his relationship with his daughter, his life,
and his music, Head describes the challenging but rewarding events
since his conversion, exposing the truth about how the trials of
his life have made his faith run deeper with each passing day.
