Ministry: the lost gospels according to al jourgensen - al jourgensen

Ministry: The Lost Gospels is both ugly and captivating, revealing a character who has lived a hard life his way, without compromise.

Jourgensen, one of the most innovative and prolific artists ever to pick up a guitar, mandolin, harmonica, or banjo, wanted to be a musician, yet became a rock star.

And fame and fortune almost killed him.

An IV drug abuser from the age of fifteen, Jourgensen delved deeper into heroin, cocaine, methadone, and alcohol for twenty-two years before cleaning up, straightening out, and finding new reasons to live.

Filled with humor, heart, decadence, and tragedy, Ministry depicts the epic life of a renegade iconoclast.
