New Lenses: How I Met Jesus on MTV

by Jared Renaud Taylor

It would not be surprising if you said, "Yeah right There is absolutely nothing these artists can teach me that will help me become a better Christian. Especially not BeyoncE Let's not talk about Mr. "Bump & Grind," "Feelin' on Your Booty," R. Kelly. And who on earth is the Wu-Tang Clan? Are they some sort of martial arts experts?" Such skepticism is only natural and understandable. However, while looking at MTV, Jared Renaud Taylor noticed something very interesting. He realized that several Pop culture icons have achieved their success and notoriety by utilizing principles with scriptural foundations. Indeed, it seems that "the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." (Luke 16:8). The author also recognized, that their use of these principles, serve as analogies which can help to strengthen our relationships with Christ. New Lenses: How I Met Jesus on MTV is an examination of 17 biblical principles for Christian living as taught by several of Pop culture's biggest stars. In each chapter, the author highlights a trait for which the featured personality is renowned, reveals the biblical principle in play and demonstrates its spiritual application. Owing to the fact that many of the personalities listed are entertainers, much of the conversation happens in the context of music ministry; however, the principles can be applied universally. The principles are potent and the perspective is fresh. The illustrations are clear and the application is practical. It is the author's prayer, that the "new lenses" through which these principles are examined, enable readers to see God more clearly in the world which surrounds them. He firmly believes that "it doesn't matter where you are, if you look closely enough you can see, meet and experience Jesus " Try on these New Lenses. Take another look at the world.
