Product Description

Review

"A frank, heartfelt, and honest account...A powerful memoir of redemption, Revelations will speak to many young people."

Book Description

Imagine having it all: money, celebrity, success. Imagine leaving it all behind -- to answer a higher calling.

Sparked by his work with Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment, Mason "Mase" Betha's meteoric rise to fame is one of rap's great success stories. In addition to performing on such hit singles as 112's "Only You," Puffy's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money, Mo Problems," and Mariah Carey's "Honey," Mase sky-rocketed as a solo artist whose languid vocal style set him apart. His debut album, Harlem World, went platinum and his next album, Double Up, was eagerly awaited. But just as he was poised to sign a multimillion-dollar deal with Bad Boy, Mase walked away.

Mason Betha is now a pastor, inspirational speaker, and founder of a nondenominational group called S.A.N.E. (Saving a Nation Endangered) Ministries. Having turned his back on stardom, he reveals in this fascinating memoir the rhyme and reason behind his choice to leave a glamorous life of extraordinary wealth and influence to become a pastor with a powerful message for America's youth. Thought-provoking and illuminating, Revelations is an undeniable testament to the enduring power of faith -- and to the limitless possibilities in a life transformed by God's guiding hand.

This book is an amazing read. Mason says he'll mever return to rap, but he has. I'm not insulting this decision at all. I think his religious life will now help him spread the good word through music. Now to the book.

The book was inspirational to the very end. I am a fan of Mase's music and that's why I bought this book. His story is so amazing. He came from nothing and became a major selling rapper, only to drop it all for God. I personally love the ways God showed him that he wasn't supposed to be a rapper at that time.

The main point is this book is amazing and I suggest everyone needs to get this and get his return album, "Welcome Back", when it hits stores Aug. 24.

THIS BOOK TAUGHT ME ALOT OF LESSONS. THIS GUY HAD IT ALL; WOMEN, FAME, CARS, AND MOST OF ALL CASH. BUT HE GAVE IT UP BECAUSE GOD TOLD HIM TO.

I DON'T THINK THIS BOOK WILL STOP ME FROM LISTENING TO RAP, BUT IT SURE DOES MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE REALLY HEARING ON THE RADIO THESE DAYS.

This review is from: Revelations: There's a Light After the Lime (Hardcover)

This book is wonderful. It really illustrates how we can get so caught up in this life of materialistic cares and neglect what is most important. Pastor Mason really shows how powerful God is and how much he cares for all of us no matter what we have done. This book demonstrates how God can guide and direct us to what he wants us to do. A definte five stars, this is a wonderful and inspirational biography.
