With My Eyes Wide Open

Miracles and Mistakes on My Way Back to KoRn

By: Brian "Head" Welch

Narrated by: Brian "Head" Welch

He left KoRn to help himself. He went back to help others. And along the way, he nearly lost everything.

A life-changing spiritual awakening freed Brian "Head" Welch from a stranglehold of drugs and alcohol and prompted him to leave the highly successful nu-metal band KoRn in 2005. What followed was a decade-long trial by fire, from the perils of fathering a teen lost in depression and self-mutilation to the harsh realities of playing solo and surviving the shattering betrayal of a trusted friend. In this intensely inspiring redemption saga, perhaps most inspiring is Brian's radical decision to rejoin KoRn and reconcile with the tribe of people he once considered family in the metal music scene.

Brian returned to his musical roots with a clear head and a devoted heart. Though his story is wild, hilarious, and deeply poignant, the message is simple: God will love you into the freedom of being yourself as long as you keep the relationship going and never, ever quit.

Testimonials are proof of his work. I would love to see you come out in Hartford, CT on August 10, 2019 Sincerely, life long Korn fan Gene F

Loved it!

I loved this book for its brutal honesty and yet hopeful attitude. It didn't sugarcoat anything, but kept the narrative very real. The writing was well done and well-paced. I never got bored. Brian Welch does an excellent job of bringing you into his life within the rock scene and showing the blessings and curses found there. At once fantastical and relatable, this narrative memoir reveals a man trying and often failing to do his best as a single parent and as a professional musician under difficult circumstances. Highly recommended.

Fantastic book

What a beautiful book. I really enjoyed every second of it and all the little details in it. It has a very positive message and was narrated extremely well. I definitely would recommend and have recommended to my family.

Being broken

Brian,
I can relate to your story so much. It was like you took the words out of my mouth relating to a wild horse that needed to be broken. It almost killed me before I completely surrendered to God. But thankfully I am still here to be a light to others like you. Representing our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus Love to all. Thank you for opening your personal story to help others hopefully find Jesus Love and only true hope for this world. P.S. I loved your daughters letter at the end. I am so happy for her. God Bless.

MUST READ THIS BOOK

Incredible story of redemption and overcoming life's trials. please read this book as soon as you can.

So good

I didn't know what to expect from this book, but it was a huge encouragement to me. Thanks Brian for sharing how God has worked in and through your life. As a dad I could relate to the love you have for your daughter. As a screw up I could relate to the mistakes. As a child of God and follower of Jesus I could relate to the hope and faithfulness that only Jesus gives. Thanks for being real in this book. Peace!
