Show Me the Scripture

Brother James's, "Show Me The Scripture, Because Jim Jones Was a Helluva Preacher Too," is a nonfiction follow-up book to his novel, Pimping God's Word: The Rise and Fall of Pastor N. O. Goode. Brother James addresses the numerous doctrinal myths perpetrated from the pulpits across this country by minister's intent on distorting God's Word for their own selfish gain. Brother James espouses that all preachers should model themselves after Jesus Christ who never sought fame and fortune but chose to do His Father's will by teaching the basic messages of the Bible which are to love God first and foremost, never putting anything or anyone before Him. One can easily conclude that the author feels that too many preachers today want to be and are considered little "g" gods by their congregations while relegating and subjugating Almighty God as a benevolent father figure in the sky who is only called upon when one is in dire straits The second basic part of Jesus's lessons is to love others as much as we love ourselves. This unique book also suggests one cannot separate love from giving so if we truly love God then we must reciprocate His love for us by showing sincere love to others and we must all show our love and devotion for Him by studying to show ourselves approved so we might not consciously be spiritually led astray. Brother James's disdain for preachers who like the Judaizes of the New Testament era who were leading God's people astray with false doctrines is beyond obvious. You may not agree with everything Brother James promulgates in this noteworthy work but will admit after reading it that it will truly make you rethink some of the things you have and are currently being taught by those who profess to be called by God to preach
