Free (nook/Kindle/Christianbook) Kicking at the Darkness [Bruce Cockburn Music Study]

[ATDrake]

Kicking at the Darkness: Bruce Cockburn and the Christian Imagination by Brian J. Walsh is a faith-based pop culture study of exactly what it says in the title, written by a University of Toronto chaplain about the popular Canadian rock musician (secular-oriented and -marketed, his albums are generally pretty good), free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's quasi-academic Brazos Press imprint.

Currently free @ B&N and Amazon (available to Canadians and in the UK). May also drop at Christian Book, and likely to only be free for a very short time.

Description
For forty years, singer and songwriter Bruce Cockburn has been writing beautifully evocative music. Bestselling author and respected theologian Brian Walsh has followed Cockburn's work for years and has written and spoken often on his art.

In this creative theological and cultural engagement, Walsh reveals the imaginative depth and uncompromising honesty of the artist's Christian spirituality. Cockburn offers hope in the midst of doubt, struggle, failure, and anger; indeed, the sentiment of "kicking at the darkness" is at the heart of his spirituality. This book engages the rich imagery of Cockburn's lyrics as a catalyst for shaping and igniting a renewed Christian imagination.
