Summary

No one was more dangerous than the Lord Jesus。

From the moment He arrived on the scene, Jesus posed a threat to the unjust, a threat to the oppressors, and a threat to every semblance of authority wielded by the kingdom of darkness。 He invaded the world with love for the forgotten, hope for the hopeless, and freedom for the bound。 His ideas were disruptive, subversive, and scandalous to the world around Him。

Jesus was so dangerous, the powers that be killed Him。

Today, our generation is seeing a surge of people walking away from the Christian faith。 But what’s repelling people isn’t Jesus; it’s that what is often propagated as mainstream Christianity is simply not worthy of His name。

Jesus is the most admired figure in history。 He is also the most ignored, weaponized, reinterpreted, and misappropriated figure in history。 The question is 。 。 。 who do you think He is?

In Dangerous Jesus , Kevin “KB” Burgess―award-winning rapper, podcaster, and international speaker―reintroduces us to the true Jesus, the one who poses a living threat to the status quo。 He’s a threat to our division。 He’s a threat to our rebellion。 He is the kind of dangerous that is so infused with power from on high that nothing stays the same when He walks into the room。 His love is so strong, it’s intoxicating。 His truth is so good, it sets people free。

We need to reconnect with this Jesus。
We need to become a threat to the threats。
We need to be dangerous。

If you’re ready to meet the real Jesus 。 。 。 If you’re ready to join in the fight 。 。 。 If you want to make the church a genuine threat to evil once again 。 。 。 join KB in Dangerous Jesus and encounter the enemy-loving, world-changing, good-dangerous Savior。

I adored this book! It's for sure one of my favorite Christian books that I've read!I requested an e-arc from NetGalley so that I could read this before my husband does so that we could talk about it together。 My husband is obsessed with KB, so I immediately pre-ordered him a copy, and boy am I glad that I did。 I can't wait to talk about it with him!!! KB is so sweet and vulnerable and loving and kind; his love for Christ and the Kingdom shines through every word that he raps and writes。 His wor I adored this book!

KB is so sweet and vulnerable and loving and kind; his love for Christ and the Kingdom shines through every word that he raps and writes。 His words have power。 I loved the chapter on the power of the tongue and how my words can lead to life and death for other people because it felt so real; he was clearly speaking from experience。 Throughout the whole book I felt like I agreed with everything KB was saying, and he taught me so much about situations and perspectives that I've never considered before。After reading this I'm feeling so invigorated to get out there and show my faith to the world! God is my god and I'm proud and excited about that!Thank you to KB for writing this wonderful, powerful, and just book。 I can't wait to share it with the world (especially my husband lol)!thank you to NetGalley and Tyndale House Publishers for this e-arc! all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

This book will be a blessing to all who take the time to read it。 KB has shown the ability in his lyrics to be edifying, challenging, uplifting, and graciously confrontational, and this book is a perfect, extended example of his gifting。 Burgess's use of his experiences to supplement his biblical arguments is quite moving and effective。 and the AP teacher in me has to point out how well this book would serve as an example text in a rhetoric course for that reason and others。I will say that he en This book will be a blessing to all who take the time to read it。 KB has shown the ability in his lyrics to be edifying, challenging, uplifting, and graciously confrontational, and this book is a perfect, extended example of his gifting。 Burgess's use of his experiences to supplement his biblical arguments is quite moving and effective。 and the AP teacher in me has to point out how well this book would serve as an example text in a rhetoric course for that reason and others。I will say that he engaged in my #1 pet peeve, a personal affront that typically causes me to dock a star in ratings just on principle (and petulance), but this book was so good that even multiple “be the Gospel” appearances couldn’t knock it from 5* territory (an achievement only henceforth attained by a couple of Keller books)。 I am concerned that too many will turn away for superficial (just a rapper) or exaggerated (too liberal, too conservative, too “woke”, not “woke” enough) reasons。 But I am convinced that anyone who takes the time to examine his arguments will be blessed and challenged。 ARC provided 。。。more
