New Lenses - How I Met Jesus on MTV (Paperback)

Have you struggled with moving your relationship with Jesus from merely an idea to an experience that is tangible and relevant to your life? What if someone told you that some of the very principles that made popular performers like Michael Jackson, Beyonce Knowles, and Sean "Diddy" Combs successful can help you have that experience? While looking at MTV, Jared Renaud Taylor noticed something very interesting. He realized much of the success of the world's prominent musicians came from applying biblical principles of which most of the artists were - and probably still are - unaware. Indeed, it seems that "the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." (Luke 16:8). The author sees Christian principles in many unlikely places and reveals that the successes and failures of these entertainers can serve as illustrations that will aid the development of our relationships with Christ. New Lenses: How I Met Jesus on MTV is a book for individuals who want a truly intimate relationship with Jesus but just don't know where to start. It is written to help us get a clearer understanding of discipleship--the vehicle through which our relationships with Christ are developed and nurtured. It is the author's prayer that by using new lenses, through which we can examine these "MTV principles," we will be encouraged to adjust our outlook on the world and learn to notice God more in the things around us.
