Jerrell Golden’s New Book, ‘Transparency,’ Reveals Insight into the Creative Process
Multi-Award-winning Christian Hip Hop artist Jerrell Golden is launching his new book, Transparency: Insights Into the Creative Process. With a testimonial approach, Golden offers readers an insightful perspective on walking out life as a believer. Taking readers on an interpersonal journey of introspection, with chin-checking analogies included.
Transparency highlights God’s original plan of the relationship between Creator and creation, motivating readers to take a “real” look at themselves; according to Golden, “You can’t keep looking in the mirror expecting to see something that does not exist.”
Golden speaks with conviction and authority, knowing all too well the recompense of facades and the overwhelming struggle of self-preservation. His overall hope for Transparency is to expound on some of his darkest moments so that you might see the light of God and His saving power.
We’ve all fallen short. Nevertheless, God is patient in seeing that all repent and turn back to Him so that we don’t live an eternal life separated from His presence.
Transparency – Insight Into the Creative Process is available on Amazon (paperback) $20.00.
