Denny (who is now happily married) and I have finally finished the task we began so many (two?) years ago... The Caffeinated Gospel, our book that recollects our evangelistic road trip through middle-America, is published! Much thanks to my brother Ben for the spiffy cover design.
You can get a copy of it here. ...and use this coupon code to save yourself some money: sunshineca305
Here's an excerpt from the introduction...
Why "The Caffeinated Gospel"?
We will try to avoid making any obviously cheesy metaphors about coffee being a picture of God’s love. One of us doesn’t even like coffee – and the metaphor already fails at multiple levels (need we mention that caffeine is a drug?).
What we’re getting at is the lack of evangelistic energy in our part of the world. Friends of ours have told us that they feel “inadequate” to share the gospel, and we know the feeling ourselves. We wish we could tell you our answer is easy – you may have guessed already that it’s not.
It takes work, recklessness, and the constant reminder that we are nothing without love.
