About Sunday Will Never Be The Same: A Rock & Roll

Product Description Love and beauty. From when she was a little girl, Dawn Eden Goldstein knew she wanted those things that in them, somehow, she would find God. But her life s search led her away from the temples of her childhood Judaism to the music clubs of Greenwich Village, where she became an acolyte of a new religion: rock & roll. Over the years she earned renown as a rock critic and historian, moving among some of popular music's biggest names, all the while straining to capture that transcendent love and beauty in their every note and lyric.  Yet her longing only deepened; the hole in her heart only grew. God s voice was calling her, but first she needed ears to hear.  In Sunday Will Never Be the Same, Goldstein ( The Thrill of the Chaste) recounts her spiritual journey in beautifully wrought detail, mixing powerful accounts of trauma, healing, and epiphany with funny and poignant anecdotes from inside the music scene. It is the rare conversion story that delights as it inspires, amuses as it edifies and ultimately lays before the reader a lived testimony to the transforming grace of Christ. Review "Goldstein ... is courageously transparent and without pretension. Because she is a woman of our own time who navigates struggles which are the same or similar to those many of us face, the book has universal appeal. You don't need to be a fan of rock to enjoy it." -- Homiletic & Pastoral Review "Spiritually refreshing." -- Catholic World Report " The world of rock and roll has seen many amazing journeys, but few like Dawn Eden Goldstein's. ...  Whether or not you're a person of faith, Catholic or otherwise, interested in the author's spiritual travels or you're a music fan looking to learn more about a favorite writer (or both!),  Sunday Will Never Be the Same  is a colorful and compelling read." -- The Second Disc "This story demonstrates, quite effectively, that God is with us, even in music and in pain. ... Sunday Will Never Be the Same is a testament to the idea that it is only in knowing what we will become that we can see the greatness of God's love for us in the messiness and ordinariness of our lives." -- Where Peter Is "Intensely personal, frequently breathless and not a little breathtaking." -- Aleteia From the Back Cover "This is the story of a young woman's journey through the dark minefield of modernity, of a lost soul who searched in vain for joy before finding it in the place where it had awaited her all along. It is a conversion story, written with equal measures of frankness and delicacy. It is also a vivid snapshot of the world of American pop music at century's end. Whatever your faith--or lack of it--you will put down Sunday Will Never Be the Same filled with gratitude for having been given the opportunity to accompany Dawn Eden Goldstein on her pilgrimage from confusion to certainty." -- Terry Teachout, drama critic, The Wall Street Journal About the Author Dawn Eden Goldstein, whose previous books include The Thrill of the Chaste and My Peace I Give You, began her writing career as a rock and roll historian, using the pen name Dawn Eden. In the 1990s, she contributed to Billboard, the Village Voice, Mojo, and Salon and co-wrote The Encyclopedia of Singles. She went on to work in editorial positions at the New York Post and the Daily News. At the age of thirty-one, Goldstein, who was raised Jewish, experienced an encounter with the divine, which began a personal transformation that would eventually lead her to enter the Catholic Church. In 2016, she became the first woman to earn a doctorate in sacred theology from the University of St. Mary of the Lake. She lives in Washington, D.C., and has taught at universities and seminaries in the United States, England, and India.
