Celebrities for Jesus 9781587435188
Many Christian leaders use their fame and influence to great effect. However, fame that is cultivated for its own sake, without attendant spiritual maturity and accountability, runs against the heart of the gospel. Celebrity--defined as social power without proximity--has led to abuses of power, the cultivation of persona, and a fixation on profits. The time has come for us to examine the church's relationship to celebrity. Katelyn Beaty explores the ways that fame has reshaped the American church and identifies ways that fame has gone awry in recent years. She offers a renewed vision of ordinary faithfulness and helps us all to keep fame in its proper place.
