Earlier this year, I decided to try a little experiment and see if I could live without a computer or smartphone. Like the prisoner who made his way out of the cave to see reality for the first time, I began to notice the world around me with fresh eyes.
From “Jesus Walks” to “Jesus is King”: The Evolution of Kanye West
Well, Kanye West is for Jesus, and he’s gathering one of the motliest crew of celebrities, hip-hop fans, artists, believers, and sceptics that the world has ever seen.
Review — Jesus is King
Kanye West brings much-needed energy, innovation and musical integrity to Christian music.
