For the cheaters and deceiters that defeat and beat you

Features
The Gospel narrative like you've never heard it before...
All-age
The Hip-Hop Gospel isn't just for young people. It appeals to both young and old (and those of us in-between!)
Accessible
The Gospels were always written to be read out loud. The Hip-hop Gospel captures the imagination of listeners in a new and exciting way.
Contemporary
The Hip-Hop Gospel uses language that people can connect with. Its clever rhymes use alliteration and rhymes within rhymes.

The Hip-Hop Gospel is designed to be performed. Character parts are colour highlighted and syllables that fall on the beat are underlined to make it easier to read.
Verse-by-Verse
The Hip-Hop Gospel is a verse-by-verse translation. If you can find the verse in your regular Bible, you can find it in The Hip-Hop Gospel.
Chapters, Scenes, and Stories
Each Chapter is divided into Scenes and each Scene is divided into Stories. This makes it easy to find your way around the text.
Time to express an address from the wilderness
Shouting out from the desert with flow finesse
Get yourself ready for the coming of the Regent
Clear the street with red carpet treatment
