“Meet Jay Elion; rebel born of a virgin. He rides a Ducati Diavel AMG and his twelve-man crew rides in a Mercedes Benz sprinter. He’s lived through a train wreck, four assassination attempts and he’s defied every known natural law.”…
We kicked off #ABookInHand October Edition with the review of the book, ‘Jesus In Jeans’ by Bill Bidiaque. A robust month of reading, learning and transformation; as the author led us through a re-defined thought process bordered around the life Jesus would have lived, had He come in our time… A life we all have been opportune to now exhibit, through the constant engagement of His Spirit that now resides on the inside of us.
Jay Elion (Jesus) came to Restore, Forgive, Redeem, Change our Belief system & instill in us, True Love… Cleansing us from the depraved nature inherited from the first Adham; Giving us a pristine nature and the choice of Freedom!
The author, Bill Bidiaque gave out free copies of the book to new and existing members of the club and we all couldnt wait to dive in.

Asides from being the author of the captivating book, Jesus In Jeans; Bill is also a Documentary Filmmaker, and believes in engaging the minds of his readers & audience… He cooked up scenes from the book and transformed them into audio series to produce a clearer, more engaging picture of Jay’s mission spelt out in the book.

As contemporary as the author presented the story of Jesus, he never changed the essence of The Cross. For we all, no matter our backgrounds, all intersect at the cross. The Cross and the Sacrifice of LOVE it represents binds us all together. The Cross LOVEs, and demands that we profess it to this dark world!
LOVE began by fixing the law…
We have a lot to say about our leaders & their authorities. But.. What does LOVE say? #JesusInJeansNovel#ABookInHandpic.twitter.com/KZL7VcObl7

@MeetJayElion #ABookInHand A thought occurred to me while reading about Jay, Johnnie, Pete and Drew They all thought Jesus (Jay) was coming — Opeyemi (@opewalker) October 21, 2015
@MeetJayElion #ABookInHand to restore the physical kingdom back to Isreal. It was later that they realized Jay spoke of an eternal kingdom

@MeetJayElion #ABookInHand Could it be that they agreed to be co-revolutionists without fully understanding what they signed up for? — Opeyemi (@opewalker) October 21, 2015
@MeetJayElion #ABookInHand Guess it’s okay for us to follow Jay even if it’s just out of curiosity and other reasons. That at the fullness
