With My Eyes Wide Open Miracles and Mistakes on My Way Back to KoRn by Brian “Head” Welch published by Thomas Nelson was amazing! So as always thank you to Netgalley Brian Welch and Thomas Nelson for my advanced copy in exchanged for an honest review. I am a very picky person when I choose my non fiction and this one was a true pleasure to read.
With My Eyes Wide Open is the biographical account by Brian “Head” Welch, guitarist for the popular metal band, KoRn. Welch describes his conversion to the Christian faith, his departure from KoRn, and the days of bitter pain which followed. I wasn't really a fan of KoRn until I read this. I finished reading this on a Thursday and I am writing my review on a Friday night because I needed a day to digest it. I think this real account of the struggles he has gone through make this book real and raw. There are moments that gave me chills there are moments that made me mad and the end made me sad it was over. I give Brian tons of credit for being so open and honest about the roller coaster that is life and the need for god makes this a must read.
