    Average rating of0.0

    Another one in the great Gospel According to series which look at a range of secular and popular artists to see how Christian spirituality may well be found in them. This time Bruce Springsteen, man and music, is used to address issues such as redemption, sin, justice and faith. This book provides a great journey through Springsteen’s discography, all the while looking at the deeper intents behind the songs and how they fit into a Christian belief system. A different take on a well known artist and certainly of great interest to any Springsteen fan, or someone looking for a different take on how popular music can be used in the faith journey.
