In this prophetic collection of essays, Michael Waters comments on current issues from his perspective as pastor, husband, father, and expert on hip-hop culture.

Waters seeks to inspire hope in people who live in urban centers and in those who provide relief and minister with this context, where it often seems that hope is bankrupt. Freestyle seeks to restore Christian hope by pointing to the presence of God at work within these communities.

Michael Waters is the founder of Joy Tabernacle, one of the African Methodist Episcopal Church's fastest-growing congregations in Texas. He blogs frequently for Huffington Post on current issues. In Freestyle, he addresses the following topics and more:

  • the U.S. civil rights movement
  • how good manners and civility seem to be in short supply
  • coming of age in the age of 9/11
  • addiction, absent parents, children born out of wedlock
  • racism
  • violence in America
  • the media's portrayal of black achievement
  • the legacy of Trayvon Martin
