"Fast read. Miraculous to hear how God can work in people's lives, even those that you would think are not salvageable. I think because it's the story of how he came to accept Jesus, it became a little bit too much for me to take in toward the end. Although I do not doubt Brian's life experiences, to hear it all laid out, one event after the other, it becomes somewhat unbelievable."
"This book is a great read for anyone who has been a fan of either Korn or has recently given their life to Christ after a life of crazy living. The author is very honest about his missteps in life and though the story of his past exploits and failures is central to his testimony, what the Lord did with him afterward is to me the most engrossing part of the story. A must read for those who doubt the incredibly redemptive powers of the blood of Christ."
"I pretty much devoured this autobiography by Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. His story was pretty gripping. His life before Korn was sad, but not atypical. When the band experienced success, his life got incredibly worse. A lot of his story focuses on his struggles with addiction and the sad depravity it brought him. His rock star life seems to have been one of unrelenting misery. Especially pathetic are the years he functioned as a single parent while totally strung out.
I was struck by his understanding of how Christ had always pursued him since childhood. At each painful shock he suffered, he writes something to the effect of, "Looking back, I can see this was another warning to repent and turn to God before things got worse, but I still ignored it."
There is no beautiful prose or turns of phrase here. This is written by a guy who spent almost his entire adult life out of his mind on drugs. Nevertheless his "conversion" and his subsequent visceral experience of God was jaw-dropping. When I was in high school I read and was deeply struck by _Seeds of Change_ the autobiography and conversion story of Kansas songwriter Kerry Livgren. _Washed by Blood_ struck me in a lot of the same way, but had a more intense, darker edge to it."
"Save Me From Myself is the autobiography of Brian "Head" Welch, one of the founding members of the band Korn. Even before forming Korn Brian was dealing with the issues in his life my self-medicating with alcohol. But, as the band's popularity grew so did the member's drug use. Quickly Brian couldn't function without using Meth everyday - even when he had full custody of his then 5 year old daughter. Eventually, some friends invited him to church and Brian accepted Christ and became a Christian. He was completely delivered from his addictions and totally turned his life around. This is his story of how he helped from Korn, how he becamed addicted to drugs, and how God totally changed his life. Brian takes a hard look at his former life and doesn't try to make it sound better than it was. He is very honest about what kind of person he was before he encountered God in his life. Overall, a pretty uplifting and interesting story."
