In honor of Easter – a day many in the Christian faith believe is the day Jesus ressurected after being crucified three days earlier – a fan of Kanye West decided to put out a special bible in honor of the man they call "Yeezus." Apparently a group of brothers on etsy replaced every word in the bible with "Kanye" and "Yeezus." This might not be much a stretch to some Kanye fans as the "Jesus Walks" rapper has used Christian Iconography since his first album. The book titled Book of Yeezus is perfect for any Kanye fan.

The book of Yeezus follows Kanye's beginning and is a retelling of the Book of Genesis. The three brothers are basically saying Kanye created everything. Maybe all those years of him getting on stage wasn't his way of berating artists. He just knows things better than we do being he was the alpha.

The book's Etsy page called Kanye an inspirational figure in the vein of Frank Sinatra or Michael Jackson. The page even went on to say that it is a more modernized version that better reflects our society than the book originally written thousands of years ago.

"What if the Bible, the most singularly significant publication in the ancient canon of Western tradition, were updated to reflect our modern society? What would it look like? What we came up with was an interventionist art, coffee-table novelty, that will appeal to both Kanye fans everywhere and those made curious by this enormous cultural phenomenon."

As for now the Book of Yeezus can only be found on Etsy. You can purchase it for the low price of $20 and fans of Yeezus, or anybody just curious enough to drop a few bucks on something as unique as a Kanye-inspired bibly, can email the three brothers at BookOfYeezus@gmail.com if they wish to pick up the special book in bulk.
