Bøker av Alan Young

I found the face of God. He was giving me the middle finger! In this outrageous memoir about growing up in a high-demand religion, Alan Young chronicles his struggles of trying to fit into the Mormon church and failing spectacularly. Though he was raised in the church, it wasn't very long before he started having doubts and many wacky mis-adventures. From trying to flirt with missionaries to temple trips that revealed a little too much, bare-assed water-skiing to chewing "crack rocks" in the baptismal font, Tales From Outer Darkness is a blasphemous, poignant, and ultimately hilarious tale about finding one's own path in life.

Many studies of African-American gospel music spotlight history and style. This one, however, is focused mainly on grassroots makers and singers. Most of those included here are not stars. Yet their collective stories presented in this book indicate that black gospel music is one of the most prevalent forms of contemporary American song.

An indispensable series for anyone who wishes to keep abreast of recent work in the field. WELSH HISTORY REVIEW
