We talk a lot about resurrection. What about the death that must come first? Through story and biblical insight, Rick James reminds us that when Jesus tells us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him, he is describing a path of death, not a path to death. Giving up our own plans in order to meet someone else's needs. Allowing God to shape our dreams, even as we lose a relationship, a job, a hoped-for future. Being alert to these daily opportunities to die to ourselves is how we discover that every act of dying, done in faith, leads to spiritual growth. As we learn to embrace the little deaths of everyday existence,
we lose our taste for lifeless religiosity. Our appetite for a
thriving, vibrant life in Christ grows--and our own experience
motivates others to live out their extraordinary mission on earth.
In truth, death is not an ending. It is the only way to experience
abundant life.

Great. Another book about Jesus. Whose agenda will the author be lugging along this time? Author Rick James begins by clearing his throat. Free of creeds, quarrels and specialized theologies, he speaks of Jesus. No dogma, no politics, no moral at the end. Jesus. What he said. What he did. And what, exactly, was the point. The answers about Jesus, according to Rick James, are in the context. In his own unconventional way, James recalls the specific contexts that color Jesus' story, bringing forward this man you've heard so much--and so little--about.
To fans of sassy and savvy urban music, the name Rick James will
forever be associated with the mainstream emergence of funk--that
bottom-heavy blend of rock and soul that sparked a multiracial
musical revolution in the 1970s and 1980s and has since influenced
everything from rap to raves, punk to progressive rock. Along with
the fame, the Grammy Award, and superstardom came drug abuse and
even felony convictions, all of which are chronicled in this
gripping, posthumous tell-all of the funk revolution.
