"Alex Gee and John Teter's revolutionary approach of taking the music and lyrics of Tupac Shakur and Lauryn Hill, two of hip-hop's most innovative and sometimes controversial figures, and showing how the music drew them closer to God helps us to understand the positives of the hip-hop culture. Jesus and the Hip-Hop Prophets is a must-read for anyone working with youth today in America. Those of us in urban ministry are bombarded daily by the influences of the hip-hop world. We must learn all we can and embrace the truth found in hip-hop. Jesus and the Hip-Hop Prophets helps us do that."

"God's truth can be found in hip-hop, and Alex and John, along with InterVarsity, are brave enough to unpack this truth in order to reach this intercultural, multiethnic, multigenerational subculture of people who really don't know that God's Word has already said it. GET THIS BOOK, USE IT, and watch how it changes your view on communcating the gospel to youth."

"Jesus the Hip-Hop Prophets offers a healing drink of water from the ancient well of African American music and spirituality. Weaving together an inspirational tapestry of personal experience, passion for hip-hop and, above all, their deep commitment to the redemptive message of Jesus, the authors cast a light on the true brilliance of Tupac Shakur and Lauryn Hill. This is a book that should be in every church, school and neighborhood center in every corner of the country."
