The Gospel According to Starbucks


Book Description

Leonard Sweet shows you how the passion that Starbucks® has for creating an irresistible experience can connect you with God’s stirring introduction to the experience of faith in The Gospel According to Starbucks. You don’t stand in line at Starbucks® just to buy a cup of coffee. You stop for the experience surrounding the cup of coffee. Too many of us line up for God out of duty or guilt. We completely miss the warmth and richness of the experience of living with God. If we’d learn to see what God is doing on earth, we could participate fully in the irresistible life that he offers. You can learn to pay attention like never before, to identify where God is already in business right in your neighborhood. The doors are open and the coffee is brewing. God is serving the refreshing antidote to the unsatisfying, arms-length spiritual life–and he won’t even make you stand in line.




Coffee Shop Church


Book Description

Let's face facts... Church is scary for some people. If it's not scary, it might be irrelevant. hypocritical? too ritualistic? boring? Whatever the case, church isn't on the top of most people's priority lists. The result: A major decline in terms of church attendance. In light of that, Coffee Shop Church calls Christians to share the gospel by meeting people where they are, literally where they are. This concept is known as "Incarnational Ministry." It's the idea of being friends with non-Christians in order to make the gospel (good news) good again.

Now, with passion and heart, two leading experts on Christianity and culture cut through the chaos and uncertainty to show readers how God is powerfully active and intensely engaged in fulfilling his promise to restore all things unto himself.
