Product Description
Imagine having it all and leaving it all behind -- to answer a higher calling...
REVELATIONS
His rise to fame was one of rap's great success stories. He had millions of fans and the prospect of multi-millions of dollars. But just as Ma#&36;e -- as he was then called -- was poised to sign a deal with Sean "Puffy" Combs' famed Bad Boy Records, he walked away.
Revelations is Mason Betha's powerful memoir about a miraculous transformation: his own -- from the material-minded Ma$e to the pastor he has become. Here, Betha reveals the rhyme and reason behind his choice to trade in his sensational music career for a richer, more spiritual one. As founder of a nondenominational movement called S.A.N.E. (Saving a Nation Endangered) Ministries, Betha has traveled throughout the country to share his messages of peace and prosperity with today's youth. Revelations is his testament to the enduring power of faith, and to the limitless possibilities in a life transformed by God's guiding hand.
About the Author
Mason Derelle Betha grew up in Harlem, in New York City. As Ma$e, he released two albums, Harlem World (which spawned three Top 10 singles and has sold more than four million copies) and Double Up, before retiring from hip-hop.

Inspirational Till The Last Page,
By "lilking101" (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revelations: There's a Light After the Lime (Hardcover)
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.

Gods power,
By GXL (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
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.
