Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicer car, bigger house, whatever your heart desires.\u00a0Everybody wants to live The Good Life.\u00a0But what happens when dreams become nightmares and the promise of freedom leads to a life of imprisonment? What happens when you discover that all that’s gold loses its glitter? Maybe the rich and famous aren’t living The Good Life.\u00a0Maybe our dreams are rooted in lies. And maybe, just maybe those who have less really have more. What is The Good Life…really?<\/p>\n

In this book, titled after his acclaimed fourth album, The Good Life, Christian rap artist and author, Trip Lee, unveils what the world, the flesh and the devil promote as the ultimate and most satisfying life. He then explains what The Good Life really is: a life within our reach and yet beyond anything this world has to offer. Imagine: The Good Life.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Good Life<\/em> is only 176 pages, but potent. I confess, I thought I would breeze\u00a0through the pages in no time. But I was wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Good Life <\/em>is\u00a0deep and meaty. It’s not a glass of milk, but a\u00a0thick piece of\u00a0filet mignon. I found myself\u00a0chewing\u00a0long and hard through this small, but powerful book.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you know, I read and review many books. I sometimes come across books which I believe are not\u00a0doctrinally sound. However, I didn’t find this to be the case with The Good Life<\/em>. Trip Lee presents the gospel in such a sound and\u00a0balanced way.<\/p>\n

I’ve known Trip Lee by his music. He is a gifted rapper. I happen like good Christian rap music and follow him and others.<\/p>\n

I have to say, I was impressed to see his level of spiritual maturity and insight\u00a0expressed\u00a0in his book. I could see him\u00a0transitioning and becoming a\u00a0full time\u00a0pastor.<\/p>\n

The following excerpts in the book\u00a0stood out for me:<\/p>\n
