Steel Waters: VOLUME I: DUPLicate AuthentICITY
by Reggie Legend
Steel Waters, Volume I: DUPLicate AuthentICITY reflects the duality of the author, Reggie Legend. Concern and disregard, strengths and weaknesses, spirit and flesh, scriptures and rap lyrics, light and dark. While these counterbalanced themes define a man living in and torn between two worlds, they are also played out in the fullness of this collection of poetry.
Defacing the Music: What Slips into the Grooves Once God Gets Removed
by Reggie Legend
If you’re a Christian who loves Hip-Hop, then this book is for you!
The original intent of music was to bring glory and honor to the name of God as the Creator of all things. Yet, like all men born into this earth, music has been corrupted by the very thing that mankind was created to subdue: sin.
When Nas rapped that Hip-Hop is dead, it was personal… and it hurt. Yet Hip-Hop died long before Nas eulogized it. It died the moment its words were birthed into the world without God at its center. Adding insult to injury, Hip Hop’s memorial gets defaced every time lyrics and beats are created without the intent to praise God; produced by artists who are sold out for their own kingdom, name and fame instead of the LORD’s!
But this book isn’t meant to be doom and gloom – there’s Good News! Like mankind, Hip-Hop needs to be reformed! Take a look at the image below: We’ve all played musical chairs. Every time the music breaks, a chair is removed from the circle; displacing one person as another takes the last coveted spot. In this image, God, the Chairman of Music, has lost His seat in what Psalm 22:3 calls “the praises of Israel” – a place He was meant to inhabit. There’s “treble” brewing in music when God gets removed.
Even so, this book is not about removing godless Hip-Hop music altogether – it’s about the hope of Hip-Hop’s restoration. At the end of the day, it’s all about God being the foundation of music; the “bass” if you will… no “trouble.”
Common Genius, Uncommon Destiny: Unlocking the Mind of Christ within You
by Reggie Legend
Genius. Einstein. How many times have you heard these words directed towards you as something to dodge as an insult or to reject as an actual compliment? Who would reject being genuinely called a genius, you ask? Those who have accepted that this word is solely reserved for academic, high IQ types such as Einstein. But what if you were told that you have your own unique GENIUS; defined by your PASSION, TALENT and PURPOSE?
What if there was a book that could show you how to combine these traits to unlock YOUR personal GENIUS (which the BIBLE calls the Mind of Christ)? Forget the IFs and IQs. Your journey to genius begins within the pages of this book… so what are you waiting for? Your destiny awaits…
Chronicles of an Uncommon Kid:
VOLUME II: The Johnny Journals
by Josiah Kee
This book series is written by a boy about a boy. Johnny is the boy the book is about. People say he’s uncommon. When someone says or does something wrong or mean, he can see or speak the best in them (even when it’s himself!). He doesn’t really like school – not because of learning new stuff (that’s cool!) – but because so many people are always saying and listening to jerky stuff, but I guess that’s what he’s there for… to balance all that stuff out.
The Color Blind Justice League
by Paige Turner
Can you imagine a world without color? Gray seas… Black land… Colorless rainbows… Neither can I! Hi! My name is Paige Turner and I write super hero books (for now, at least!). My latest story is about The Rainbow Crew. They’re a group of super heroes who bring color into the world that draws people together. It’s because of them that we even have color TVs! When a threat to The Rainbow Crew’s good works comes up that’s bigger, faster and meaner than them, they have to figure out how to beat before gray skies take over the world (and TVs) again. Will they be able to save the earth’s colors?!! There’s only one way to find out!
