Jesus Sound Explosion recalls Mark Curtis Anderson's quest for worldliness-through-rock as he came of age as a Baptist preacher's kid in the 1970s. All of the backsliding and revival, idealism and disillusionment one would expect is here, told with delightfully understated humor and set against the sounds of Led Zeppelin, Yes, and Bruce Springsteen. Here is a knowing look back on a time when Jesus Christ Superstar climbed the pop charts, ""The Cross and the Switchblade"" hit the big screen, and anxious parents played their kids' records backward in search of hidden messages from Satan.

Reviews for Jesus Sound Explosion (Association of Writers and Writing Programs Award for Creati)
A heartfelt, funny, and offbeat memoir. - Minneapolis - St. Paul Star Tribune ""A remarkably down-to-earth, unpretentious read... Anderson's generous sensibility melds barbs of anger with genuine affection for those he grew up with in the faith."" - Chicago Reader
