Christian youth, Joanna Brown, also known as Dzyna-B, has released a new Christian t-shirt range based on a poem that takes its cues from teenagers' activities on social network site Facebook.

The 22-year-old from London said the inspiration for the new clothing range, Is your FACE in the BOOK of Life?, which she says will include at a later stage - jumpers, jackets and badges, came after she overhead two friends chatting on the train. She said: "I was sitting on the train one day coming home and I heard a stranger ask her friend, 'Hey are you on Facebook?' Immediately God dropped in my spirit, 'Is her FACE in the BOOK of life?' I thought to myself, 'Wow God that is so true'. From there I pretty much got a pen and paper and God inspired me to write this poem. I tell you it convicts even me."

What started out as a Christian poem has turned into a religious fashion clothing range and Joanna hopes Is your FACE in the BOOK of Life? will get Christians thinking about their salvation. She said: "The Bible talks about your name in the book of life Revelations 3:5. The term Is your FACE in the BOOK of life? is a pun on the word Facebook as everyone is on Facebook. You will find out if your name is in the book on judgement day."

The Is your FACE in the BOOK of Life? Christian t-shirts will be sold online via Joanna's MySpace page. You can check out the new line here and the poem below.

Is your FACE in the BOOK of life?
Does your conscience POKE you when you ain't living right?
Are you a consistent Christian or do you keep changing STATUS?
What will your TAGGED photos say to us?
Or do you hide the truth and RESTRICT THE VIEW
To a PRIVATE SETTING only to be seen by you?
When you can't click EDIT and DELETE
Do you UNTAG reality to avoid the heat?
It's a small world God will always be a MUTUAL FRIEND
Viewing each PHOTO ALBUM from start to end
God will make a NOTE as he will be able to see
That you don't live up to standard of your ABOUT ME
What is the content of the writings on your WALL?
Can it or your PROFILE PIC cause another to stumble or fall?
Is your Bible more than an APPLICATION?
That you don't only check when you get a NOTIFICATION
Have you made God any disciples on your FRIEND'S LIST?
Or is heaven not a NETWORK in your relationships?
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND to share?
Is it the Christ who came and died my dear?
SUGGEST A FRIEND, how about suggest a Scripture?
And make an opportunity for the Word to minister
Send an INSTANT MESSAGE of the Good News
Don't be ashamed to share your views
On Judgement Day when you see the light
You get to know if your FACE is in the BOOK of life.
