The gospel according to hip hop. Yeah, that's a thing.
Christian ideas often show up in hip hop music. Biblical themes and even Jesus Himself appear in the lyrics. But beneath all the God-talk, can a true gospel message be found?
Pastor D. A. Horton (aka hip hop artist Azriel) says yes. And he wants you to know the gospel message is deep . . . powerful . . . theological . . . and surprisingly simple to comprehend. It all comes down to:
- God's design
- Our downfall
- God's demonstration
- Our decision
Are You Good With God? is a book of giant truths written in the raw and rhythmic style of hip hop. The poetry of the streets will energize you with the dynamic power of Scripture. Like every other global language, hip hop speaks to the human heart with truths that really matter. So if hip hop is your mother tongue, why not listen to what God is saying to you?
