You probably won’t get this, but I’m giving it a shot.

I’m an author (written 5 books) and a pastor and I’d be so grateful if you would read a few paragraphs of my new book, Eats With Sinners. I serve with Journey Christian Church in Greeley, Colorado.

Blue Like Jazz was an important element of the spiritual soil from which my book grew.

Overview of Book: Eats With Sinners
Arron Chambers believes that too many Christians are better at studying, talking about, contemplating, and planning for evangelism than they are at actually sharing their faith with their non-Christian friends. Face it. It is much easier to talk about winning our friends for Christ than it is to actually do it. Arron believes that—in our attempts at faithfulness to the Scriptures and obedience to God—we have inadvertently over-complicated what should be a relatively simple process and intimidated what should be optimistic evangelists.
In too many churches evangelism is presented as a battle to be survived. One must be prepared to out-wit, out-play, and out-last one’s “lost” opponent or face defeat and the shame of being voted off of God’s island, so we prepare evangelists for “war” by arming them with twenty pound KJV Bibles, ten key scriptures set to memory, a few gimmicks, a healthy fear of Hell, a spot on a street corner, a handful of tracks professionally designed to make a “lost” person keenly aware of his sins and—thus—compelled to throw himself into the nearest baptistery lest he be damned to tread water for all eternity in a lake of fire, and the cell phone number of the preacher in case everything goes bad and one needs to call in “The Man.”
Arron Chambers believes that biblical evangelism is not a war to be won, but a relationship to be built. It’s not about yelling, but about listening. It’s not about judging, but about understanding. It’s not about education, but about affection. It’s not about sending people to Hell, but about helping them find their way to Heaven. It’s not about sermons, but about testimonies. And Arron is convinced that it’s a not a verbal battle on a street-corner, but conversation at a dinner table that is most effective at opening someone’s heart to the possibility of a saving relationship with the Savior.
In a nut-shell: this book is not a call for Christians to go to war with “lost” people, but a call for Christians to go to lunch with them. This book is not a call for the Church to come out of the world, but to get back into it.
Exploring the methods Christ used to reach people, Eats With Sinners presents the 13 key ingredients of Christ-like evangelism.
Finally, a book on evangelism that will actually equip people to reach their friends for Christ! Eats With Sinners moves the hope of reaching one’s friends for Christ from an abstract possibility to an obtainable reality. This book presents an evangelistic method that is not intimidating, but empowering, because it is based, not on what some preacher thinks you should do, but on what Christ actually did to reach lost people.
