John Cooper of Skillet announced that his first book Awake & Alive to Truth will be released in December. The book will be available in both hardcover and softcover. The description of the book from it’s website says:
“Chaos. Violence. Confusion. Anxiety. How do we know what’s true when there are so many differing voices telling us what to do? After traveling the world for 23 years in a rock band, John L. Cooper has noticed one consistent issue: people are desperately confused. Awake and Alive To Truth tackles the reigning philosophies of our day of post-modernism, relativism, and the popular view of the goodness of man-and combats these viewpoints by standing on the absolute truth of the Word of God. Awake and Alive To Truth answers some of the most asked questions in modern culture. We will go on a journey through some of the author’s personal stories, the doctrine of original sin, the authority of Scripture, the danger of trusting your emotions, and end with the greatest news possible: God wants to rescue you from the chaos and the darkness and bring you into His glorious light.”
I’m so excited to announce my first book! How do you know what’s true when there are so many differing voices telling us what to do? AWAKE & ALIVE TO TRUTH tackles the reigning philosophies of our day and points you to an eternal truth that is unshakeable. https://t.co/hBhkagOut9 pic.twitter.com/20ThxzYOSi

This isn’t Cooper’s first taste as writing though. Last year, the self-proclaimed proud comic book nerd penned his own graphic novel. He hooked up with Z2 Comics to release Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel. The novel had John and his wife/band mate Korey as the main characters. Their Skillet band mates Seth Morrison and Jen Ledger also make appearances in the story.
