Church-camp sing-alongs gone horribly wrong, infatuation with Christian contemporary music, teenage love set to indie rock soundtracks, playing rock in churches and church music in rock clubs, betrayal by Christian rock bands—Sects, Love, and Rock & Roll is a book about how listening to music makes us who we are, and it’s an exploration of the intersections between the evangelical church and the pop music scene. In these essays, Joel Heng Hartse, a youth group dropout turned music critic, combines laugh-out-loud humor with thoughtful reflection to describe how his obsession with rock and roll has shaped him, and how living in the shadow of God and guitars can transform all of us.

Is there any other way to pre-order it?
Not yet -- in fact, I think pre-ordering will kind of be impossible because the publisher has kind of a weird setup. But I'll make it known as soon as it can be ordered, pre- or otherwise!
Your blog seems like something I'm gonna love!
