What is it about David Bowie?  With almost 500 books about the British singer, actor, and songwriter, one might say it’s all been said. In “David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God” by Peter Ormerod, readers are introduced to yet another side—Bowie’s lifelong search for spiritual meaning.

While Ormerod isn’t a well-known name in the realm of rock and roll journalism, he may be uniquely qualified in this subject. As a regular contributor to The Guardian on faith and culture, he has the experience to delve into the musician’s search for a faith.
