Free (nook/Kindle/DRM-free@XtianBk) Speaking of Jesus [Christian Not-Evangelism]

ATDrake · 04-09-2012, 02:17 AM

Speaking of Jesus: The Art of Not-Evangelism by Carl Medearis is an inspirational exhortation to self-examination before proselytization, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

Free @ B&N new B&N (also UK) and Amazon UK, likely to drop in the main store and show up at Christian Book. May show up at Kobo, but they generally tend to only get the DCC fiction freebies.

ETA: now a repeat freebie in the original stores and ChristianBook (DRM-free ePub available to selected countries) and additionally free @ iTunes & Google Play (both available to Canadians), can be added to your library @BookShout, and may also be free at other venues listed on the publisher's catalogue page.

Description (frankendescription cobbled together from the B&N and Amazon blurbs, since they seemed to reflect differing aspects of the book)
Quit defending Christianity. Author Carl Medearis is not interested in keeping Christianity alive. Not one bit. Carl believes it has grown into something that is rarely attractive, frequently divisive, and all too often embarrassing. He believes you may feel this way too.

In his new book, Speaking of Jesus, Carl gives us a wink and a grin and the permission to stop feeding this thing called Christianity. His offer is that doing so allows us the freedom to relax and feast on Jesus.

Some of us fear moments when we need to defend our theology. Some of us seek them out. But we are seldom ready the way Jesus seemed to be ready. So how do we draw others to God in the midst of these ordinary conversations the way Jesus did?

In Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis draws on his experience of international reconciliation between Muslims and Christians to remind us of the heart of the matter: Jesus. Here he gives us tools, stories, and the foundation we need to move beyond “us” and “them” and simply talk about the One who changes it all.

As Carl writes, “While others are explaining and defending various isms and ologies we’re simply pointing people to our friend. The one who uncovers and disarms. Who leads people right to himself. The beginning and the end of the story. A good story indeed.”

But it did go free in 2 other places.
