don't let the title fool you it also contains the anatomy of developing your hip-hop service as well.

I purchased the book for my 12 year old son and he has enjoyed reading it.

This was okay, but a little cliche. A person with plenty of cred might be able to pull it off, but a Southern white girl like me would sound like a fraud. However, it's a good start toward providing worship to the hip-hop culture and doesn't sacrifice tradition.

I have always been a proponent of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer(and the Tridentine Mass) and in somewhat opposition to modern liturgy. It seems that the curse of Vatican 2 is that every other Church feels the need to emulate the Novus Ordo Mass in some way, as does the 1979 Prayer Book. However, I realise that there is a whole generation who don't know the 28 BCP and furthermore don't understand its language; ergo, one must make 'some' changes here. Since I do urban work, i can relate to this prayer book. I can appreciate a Hip-Hop Mass. It may not be my particular 'thang' but if others benefit from it, then I'm for it. I did have to scratch out several places where God is referred to as 'mother' because it is Scripturally wrong. Jesus called God, 'Father', and NOT 'mother'. End of discussion.But, I would encourage those who do inner city ministry and other interested parties as well, to obtain a copy of this book and learn from it and benefit as well.

This is a lie!! This book in mixed with 5% nation of gods and earths teaching along with Biblical teaching. Yes the review was helpful in showing that Hip Hop doesnt belong in the church, it is not a tool to reach or save our young. Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the only way to reach people. Hip Hop is a religion and culture and upsurbs the authority of Christ Jesus. Please do your research people, please, dont perish for a lack of knowledge! My actual rating is a 0 but I had to put something to get it through.
