Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church by Katelyn Beaty
4.0
I don't feel as though I learned anything new, and I wasn't really surprised. However, it validated my feelings and my perspective on the problems I have with celebrity in general, Christian celebrity in particular, and megachurches.
Everything I have wrestled with for years about Christian culture in America is neatly summarized between the covers of this short, readable, and compassionate book.
There is no judgment or condemnation here, but a deeply honest examination of this weird phenomenon of Christian celebrity. She offers no concrete answers or solutions, but points us back to Christ and him crucified.
I appreciated this book. I wish I'd thought to write it.
