Since 1990, ten years after his murder, I've been working on a book about the life and death of John Lennon from a CHRISTIAN perspective. Above is the PROBABLE cover for my latest version, which I will hopefully self-publish on Amazon SOON. I'm more convinced than ever that Christians are unaware of the godless but pervasive influence of Lennon, ESPECIALLY after the Beatles split up (1970.) Ray Comfort's book "The Beatles, God and the Bible" GLOSSED OVER, for the most part, the ten years of Lennon's SOLO career, and it was those years (1970-1980) that my book focuses on. It was THOSE years in which Lennon came as "an angel of light" bringing anti-Christian "teachings" into our minds, via his music and the example of his life.
For the artwork above, I took my son Rob's previous cover drawing of Lennon and added artistic effects from the computer. These effects are meant to symbolize the "colorful confusion" of Lennon's life, and there are many other intended "hidden" meanings in there which I won't bore you with. For THIS incarnation of my book, I've made some changes. 1.) I've directed the book specifically to CHRISTIANS. Non-Christians who are fans of Lennon seem to idolize the man so much it's impossible to get through to them. They HATE you just for being honest about John. 2.) I've changed the title AND the cover art. 3.) I've added new material to the book, to bring it up-to-date. 4.) My longtime, excellent editor Martha Ireland is doing a great job RE-EDITING the book and 5.) We're going to put it up on AMAZON this time, where I might actually sell a few copies, Lol!!
Diana Ross turns 75 tomorrow!! I thought I'd mention that TODAY because it occurred to me, even as The Beatles split up in 1970 and Lennon went HIS own way, Diana left The Supremes in 1970 and began HER solo career. Though I did buy her first two albums after she left The Supremes, and liked them, I was never "into" her like I was "into" John Lennon, and I have no plans to ever write a book about HER (Lol)!!
I'm sure Diana Ross has written one about HERSELF, Lol!! Maybe more than one. After all, when I checked Wikipedia for a full list of her albums, there are EIGHT which have her name, either as "Diana Ross" or "Diana" or "Ross," in the title. (Talk about VAIN!!)
About two years ago I watched "Lady Sings The Blues" for the first time and I wasn't that impressed, frankly, by her acting skills. (I never saw any of her OTHER movies, though so maybe that one was a fluke.) And Diana made news recently by defending Michael Jackson's rep in the wake of "Leaving Neverland." She apparently Tweeted, and PLEADED, that Jackson's accusers "Stop In The Name of Love"....... I thought THAT was pretty lame, ALSO.
But as she turns 75 tomorrow, my hope for Diana Ross is that she's saved as she, (like each of us), draws closer to the day she will stand before the Lord of all, and His Judgment.
