By combining musical styles young people loved with the wholesomeness their parents wanted, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) became a multimillion-dollar industry. In this book, author Leah Payne traces the history of contemporary Christian music in America and, in the process, demonstrates how the industry, its artists, and its fans shaped--and continue to shape--conservative, (mostly) white, Protestant evangelicalism.
