520    "Founder of the phenomenon social media account 
       PreachersNSneakers tackles how faith, capitalism, 
       consumerism, and (wannabe) celebrity have collided. What 
       started as a joke account on Instagram has turned into a 
       movement. Through this provocative project, the founder of
       PreachersNSneakers is helping thousands of Jesus followers
       wrestle with the inevitable dilemmas created by a culture 
       obsessed with image and entertainment. In 
       PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit 
       Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities, the author boldly 
       confronts many of the difficult questions plaguing 
       countless Christians' minds, such as : Should pastors grow
       wealthy off of religion, and why do we get so angry when 
       they do? Is it okay to stoke envy among others with 
       curated "lifestyle" images on social media? Do we really 
       believe that divine blessings are monetary, or is that 
       just religious wallpaper to hide our own greed? Is there 
       space in Christendom for celebrities like Kanye and Bieber
       to exist without distorting the good news? What about this
       : Is it wrong for someone like this author to call out 
       faith leaders online and leverage "cancel culture" to 
       affect change? PreachersNSneakers will navigate these 
       challenging questions and many more with humor, wit, 
       candor, and a few never-before-published hijinks. Each 
       chapter will explore the various sides of the debate, 
       holding space for readers to make up their own minds. The 
       book will doubtlessly become a staple for church small 
       groups, college ministries, and book clubs, emboldening 
       struggling believers who want to live a more genuine 
       faith." --|cProvided by publisher.
