| Info: | Church Publishing. ISBN 0898695112
Contents
An evangelism tool, developed at Trinity Church of
Morrisania in the birthplace of Hip Hop, the South Bronx,
containing daily prayers, psalms, a variety of services
(including a Eucharist), and a selection of bible stories
all designed with the enlivening power of Hip Hop in mind,
and prefaces by two bishops of the Episcopal Church and a
wealth of contextualizing materials.
Editor
The Rev. Timothy Holder is the rector of Trinity Episcopal
Church of Morrisania in the South Bronx of the City of New
York and the Founding Priest and Pastor of the
HipHopEmass.
Controversy
Besides a great initiative, controversy could start about
the editor, who is ordained in 1997 as the first openly gay
priest in Alabama, United States. Some christians feel there
is a mixed message in spreading the gospel and being open
about homosexuality, which is considered a sin. |

|  | | MyHHHdb | |
| Media: | [Book] | | Released: | 2005 |
| Info: | Intervarsity Press. ISBN 0830833293
Contents
Like the culture it rises from, the hip-hop church is
relevant and bold. And it speaks to the heart. In this book,
pastors Efrem Smith (Raising Up Young Heroes: Developing a
Revolutionary Youth Ministry) and Phil Jackson show the
urgency of connecting hip-hop culture and church to reach a
generation with the gospel of Jesus Christ. They give
practical ideas from their urban churches and other hip-hop
churches about how to engage and incorporate rap, break
dancing, poetry and deejays to worship Jesus and preach his
Word. |

| Release: | Word : For Everybody Who Thought Christianity Was for Suckas / Mykel Mitchell |
|  | | MyHHHdb | |
| Media: | [Book] | | Released: | 2005 |
| Info: | New American Library: 240 pages, ISBN 0451214064.
Contents
Growing up, Mykel Mitchell found more truth in the words of
Run DMC than any preacher's sermon. He saw more prosperity
in the lives of local drug dealers than in the lives of
neighboring saints. It was only natural that he would
gravitate toward hustling. Years later, when "the life"
left him empty and he had nothing to lose, he gave Jesus
Christ a chance-and he's never looked back.
In "Word", Mitchell takes us on the personal, moving, and
at times, humorous journey that helped him reconcile his
faith in Christ, not only with his intellect and
instincts-but with his passion for all things hip-hop. In
this refreshingly candid take on church doctrine, he
addresses questions like "Why does God need my money?" and
"What's the big deal with sex anyway?" and explains how
he came to rock baggy jeans and sports jerseys right along
with his platinum cross and tattered Bible, without shame or
apologies. |

Contents
Lauryn Hill and Tupac Shakur are modern-day prophets.
Written on subway walls and tenement halls, their lyrics
challenge us as individuals and as a society to stop doing
wrong and learn to do right (Isaiah 1:16-17). They paint an
honest picture of life as it is lived, and hint at a vision
of life as it ought to be lived. With this book John Teter
and Alex Gee invite us to enter into the world of these
hip-hop prophets--to follow their message to its ultimate
fulfillment at the feet of the Prophet-King Jesus. They
invite you to Follow the beats. Let the truth speak through
the beats of the streets. Love is real. Hope is real. Jesus
is real. |
