[completed 8 July]
it took me a little longer than i expected, but it was well worth the read… it’s a very honest look at the often blurred line between ministry and industry when it comes to Christian music and entertainment… also the importance of working your faith into your personal life rather than just tacking it on to your business pursuits, regardless of the industry… i loved how Mark refused to pull punches or shelter himself from possible embarrassment or whatever by being completely open as he explained the struggles he has dealt with as he’s walked through a life of faith… very interesting read, thought-provoking, and engaging… i’ll recommend it…

Product Description

Simplicity is the definitive book on being authentic. Written as a farewell letter to the Christian music industry, independent rock icon Mark Salomon offers a compelling memoir of his life as a musician and a Christian. As Salomon journeys through his experiences in indie rock bands playing churches and events, he exposes why he dropped the label of "Christian" in order to truly minister. He challenges pervading mindsets and shows that an authentic Christian life reaches beyond the traditions of religion.
