| Jesus is totally backwards to the world. Rather than focus on his own desires, he lived to love others. He preached lessons that seemed contradictory: Die to live. Lose to gain. Love your neighbor as yourself. Is it possible to follow in his footsteps today? Can people live a faith that means something in a culture so focused on self? Meeting an MTV generation where it's at, The Backward Life shouts ''YES!'' In this provocative and challenging book, Jarrod Jones takes readers on a journey into a faith that dares members of our pop culture to live like Christ--to deny themselves and take up the cross. This kind of living may seem backward to the ways the world would have one find happiness and meaning, yet Jones shows how it delivers more fulfillment than anyone can imagine. Filled with real-life stories and honest teaching, The Backward Life offers a new look at a faith that will help readers discover who they are and who God is calling them to be. |

| Following up the successful debut EP, "Rebirth of Hip-Hop," J Remy has taken the spotlight yet again in his sophomore release, "The Backwoods Legend." Back behind the board again is Kene "Ghost" Bell (Grits, Toby Mac, Fred Hammond, Out of Eden) as J Remy, along with friends and company that read off like Grammy nominations, including Kevin Max (of DC Talk) Bonafide (of Grits) and Pigeon John (of LA Symphony) lend their talent to the record. Escaping from the one-dimensional sound that plagues a plethora of hip-hop artists, J Remy displays his diversity with the soulful R&B ballad, "Remedy" along with the hype anthem "Country Boys" and the ever-unique country hip-hop ho-down in "Bring 'Em Back Down Here." Covering topics from hope to healing, Mississippi to marriage, and fun to faith, J Remy effectively delivers what others want to say, but don't have the guts to record. |
