Jesus Was From The Hood

About the Book

THE FOXES HAVE HOLES, THE BIRDS OF THE AIR HAVE NESTS, BUT THE SON OF MAN HAS NO PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD. IT WAS THOSE WORDS THAT KEPT ME FROM DYING WHEN I WAS A YOUNG, POOR, DESTITUTE MAN WITH NO HOPE OF THE FUTURE. WHETHER YOU CALL IT THE GHETTO, THE SLUMS, THE PROJECTS, THE BARRIOS, THE TRAILER PARK, OR “THE HOOD” GETTING OUT AND GETTING UP IS STILL THE MOST DIFFICULT THING FOR THOSE OF US WHO GREW UP THERE TO DO.

YOU’VE BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE STREET, YOU’VE SHAKEN HANDS WITH POVERTY. YOU’VE KNOWN INDIFFERENCE AND HATRED. YOU’VE BEEN PUT DOWN, YELLED AT, AND BEEN A VICTIM OF PREJUDICE AND RACISM. YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO AND DECEIVED. NOT ONLY BY SOCIETY, BUT EVEN BY THOSE YOU THOUGHT WERE IN YOUR CORNER.

“JESUS WAS FROM THE HOOD” ILLUSTRATES JUST HOW INTIMATLEY JESUS SPOKE TO ALL OF US WHO GREW UP AND ARE GROWING UP AS A MEMBER OF A MINORITY IN THIS SOCIETY. FORGET ABOUT THE CATHEDRALS IN THE CENTER OF TOWN. DON’T BE PUT OFF BY THE WHITE GLOVES IN THE CHURCH CEREMONY, OR THE 1,000 MEMBER CHOIR, OR THE PREACHER WITH THE GOLD TRIMMED ROBE. DO THOSE THINGS TURN YOU OFF? IT SHOULD! JESUS WAS TURNED OFF TOO!……DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE, JESUS WAS FROM THE HOOD.

THE SERMON YOU HEAR DOWN THE STREET WITH ALL OF THE LINCOLNS, CADILLACS, AND BENZ’S IN THE PARKING LOT WONT TELL YOU. THE CATHEDRALS CANT TELL YOU. AND THE MINISTERS WHOM SALARY DEPENDS UPON BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT BETTER NOT TELL YOU! BUT, JESUS DID TELL YOU, A LONG TIME AGO.

FINALLY, A BOOK THAT EXPLAINS TO US WHAT JESUS REALLY MEANT WHEN HE DISCUSSED THE SAMARITAN WOMAN, THE LEPER, THE MARKETPLACE, AND WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU NOW!! THAT FAMOUS STATEMENT SO OFTEN MISINTERPRETED BY SO MANY WHEN JESUS SAID TO THE POOR WOMAN “I CANT GIVE THAT WHICH IS HOLY TO THE DOGS”

READ THIS BOOK, AND FIND OUT THAT JESUS HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH YOU THAN YOU THAN MOST OF THE FOLKS YOU THINK THAT GO TO CHURCH EVERY WEEK. WHEN YOU IDENTIFY WITH JESUS, THEN JESUS WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH YOU. YOU NEED TO FIND OUT THAT “JESUS, WAS FROM THE HOOD.
