Böcker av Barry Taylor

Each of us experiences moments that shift the axis of our lives, nudging us into new perspectives and sometimes altering our course completely. These are threads--threads that seem mundane, silly, or even trite but, woven together over the course of a life, bring us to places we never imagined.Sex, God, and Rock ''n'' Roll is a story of such threads in one extraordinary life. Barry Taylor began adulthood on the road with a world-famous rock band, and there he found religion. He then became a theologian, priest, teacher, and a theist-non-theist-post-theist. Some of his stories will shock and others will provoke laughter and tears. Taken together, they show just how poignantly the sacred moves in all of our lives.
