Some are assuming Jesus Or Nothing is FLAME’s next album. The recent announcement has caught many off guard, especially when you consider FLAME’s seventh studio album Royal Flush dropped less than 6 months ago (October 1, 2013). Jam The Hype decided to dig deeper.
Jam The Hype thinks Jesus Or Nothing is an upcoming Clear Sight Music compilation based on an interview FLAME did with jesusfreakhideout.com.
Check out the section of the interview that mentions Jesus Or Nothing below.
JFH (Michael): That’s good stuff. Thinking short-term future, what’s next for you? What do you have going on?
FLAME: Yes, indeed! 2014, I’m very excited about that. The dean of students of Boyce College, where I did my undergrad, completed a book entitled Jesus or Nothing. It’s a short read, but it’s a very thorough and very well written easy read. It’s a story. It’s about this young guy, college age. He’s struggling with Christianity and atheism. It’s arguing that Christianity is the best way to understand this world and has the best answers up against the nothingness. Nihilism: An old school idea that there’s no meaning or purpose to life. We’re just a cosmic accident heading in no direction and life is just meaningless. So, there’s a book coming out and then Clear Sight Music, we’ll release the soundtrack for the book. I’m really excited about that. Colleges are going to be using it; high schools are going to be using it as curriculum and small groups. We’re plowing away at that project. We also have an artist, her name is V. Rose. She’s working on her second album that will be releasing in 2014 as well. We’re going to be traveling all over the place to support both of those projects and it’s going to be fun. 2014 is going to be great.
Do you think it’s a compilation? Who would you want to feature on Jesus Or Nothing?
