The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has a historical stain. The SBC once affirmed slavery and openly opposed and condemned abolitionists. Even though the convention repented of this sin publicly, a profound divide between the white majority and the black and brown minority still exists for many churches. This stain is more than historical fact; it prohibits Southern Baptist churches from embracing the one new man in Christ promised in Ephesians 2:11–22 and from participating in the new song of the saints from every tongue, tribe, people, and nation in Revelation 5:9. The glorious gospel of Jesus Christ commands all his followers to do our part in removing racism from our midst. Removing the Stain of Racism from the Southern Baptist Convention is a powerful and practical call to sacrifice, humility, and perseverance—along with a relentless commitment to Christian unity—for the sake of the gospel and our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Whether or not you believe in the concept of reincarnation, if you are to enjoy this book you will need to keep an open mind. It is not a traditional biography, one in the style of Marilyn Manson's Long Hard Road Out of Hell. You won't find details (either real or invented) of Reznor's sex life, his addictions or bad behavior. Whilst he may be no saint it is, I think, a great shame to reduce a life to simply the nasty bits. The dirty bits. More over, in this respect the ONLY one who can tell these stories with any truth and accuracy is the man himself.So, what can you expect of The Stain of Time?The original notes were prepared for Trent Reznor himself. However at that time he was in a very dark place and to reach him directly was near impossible. His then manager and lawyer had effectively walled him off. Despite my best efforts to present him with details of a past life that may have helped him to lay some demons to rest, well, it just wasn't going to happen.Eventually I took the advice of someone who had once been close to Trent and prepared this book. Once published we could only hope that in time it would find its way into his hands. It was good advice!Reznor's work, past and present, is littered with references to this tragic life - everything from lyrics to set designs. If you are willing to open your mind much will become clear.Did The Stain of Time do it's job and help Reznor if not lay his demon's to rest, at least quiet them? I certainly hope that is so.
