I was recently handed the first shipped copy of Death by Love, the newest book by Dr. Gerry Breshears and myself. We are both very excited about this book that is for sale everywhere starting September 30.

Unlike Vintage Jesus, it does not have comedy and is pure, unadulterated, intense, Jesus-centered, sin-confronting, raw, and real gospel theology. The look by the guys at Portland Studios is unreal and unparalleled. I do think, without shameless self-promoting, that it is a timely book with essential truth in a creative format. I explain the book in greater detail in this video:

Pastor Tim Interviews Lecrae from Mars Hill Church on Vimeo.

It's cool to see people reaching their culture for Jesus in whatever way they can. You can tell that Lacrae is passionate about seeing Jesus worshiped and lives changed. When I went to see him perform live, I felt slightly uncomfortable jumping up and down with the rest of the crowd, but, when I looked around me and saw hundreds of people praising Jesus and they were preaching the Gospel in a way the whole crowd grasped—I was amazed.

Who are the people around you that need Jesus?
What does it look like to be a comic book geek for Jesus? A Nascar Dad for Jesus? A YMCA volunteer for Jesus?
