With My Eyes Wide Open

Miracles and Mistakes on My Way Back to KoRn

By: Brian "Head" Welch, Brian Welch

Narrated by: Brian 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.

This was a fantastic book!

I wanted to listen to an audio book about someone that went through struggles and connected with God. I really, really enjoyed this book. I was impressed with Brian's story, narration, and personality. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to gain another person perspective about the struggles of humanity, however truly puts faith in Jesus to renew us back to home.

Absolutely Awesome!!

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. Thanks for sharing Brian!! This book was awesome!

Beautiful Story!!

I've known and loved Brian since I was a kid. this was a really great insight into his life. i found it very empowering and after finishing I felt better about the struggles in my own life. I do believe I loved this more bc I love Korn and Brian but even past that this is a very uplifting and beautiful story. Brian did a great job narrating as well. I def prefer when the author reads their book in memoirs.

I will listen to this book again and again!!

It is amazing to hear Brian read his book. It brings more meaning and understanding! His tone really shows me a story of his life and good faith! Thank you Brain, my eyes are beginning to open more through the walk of life!

Love for Jesus

I like how the author hits nail on the head over and over again with how Jesus is always with us.
