I have said it before, and I will say it again, never judge a book by it's title. I am sure when you see the title for Trip Lee's book, The Good Life, you might be thinking it is one of those "living your best life now" books or it has something to do with being healthy and wealthy because you are a child of God and He wants to you to be happy. Of course, if you listen to Trip Lee, he is a Christian rapper, you know this is the same title as his latest album.
Now most Christian singers who have written books usually writer a chapter based on a song from that album that the book is based on. That is not the case for Trip Lee. Although, he does mention some of his songs in the book, Trip Lee talks about the Bible and overwhelming theme of the gospel. He starts out with creation and how sin entered the world. Followed by Jesus coming in the form of a man, dying on the cross for sins, and rising from the dead. Trip Lee also writes about how we need to be faithful in our walk with Christ and share our lives with the people of God, which is called the church.
This was fun to read. It is not a systematic theology book, but it was fun to read. Trip Lee has a unique writing style that anyone can read this book without feeling they have been a seminary class, but instead when to a rap concert. I think I listened to rap a few times while reading the book. Anyways, this is good for teenagers to read as well as those who are lovers of rap, which may not be all of us, but I do recommend the book.
Thanks Moody Publishers for letting me review this book.
