Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock is a book about Christian rock written by Andrew Beaujon.
Background
editThe title of the book comes from a T-Shirt that Beaujon saw at the Cornerstone Festival.[1] Beaujon opens the book by discussing interviews that he did with P.O.D. and Switchfoot.[2] The book discusses how the racial demographic of contemporary Christian music is overwhelmingly white.[3] The book discusses the band Pedro the Lion and what Beaujon calls the "gospel of doubt".[4] The book discusses how Christian rock musicians often feel trapped in the Christian music scene.[5] Beaujon is a writer at Spin magazine.[6] The book was published in 2006.[7] Kirkus Reviews called the book "a refreshingly unbiased view of a subject that many jaded journalists would find easy to mock."[8] Gilbert Cruz noted that some of the interviews in the book are too long and tedious, but that overall the book is "fascinating".[9][10]
