The Gospel According to Starbucks capitalizes on Leonard Sweet's core audience of pastors, church leaders, emerging Christians, and parachurch ministry leaders and expands to multitudes of young adults who seek spiritual authenticity rather than religious obligation and Christian boomers who seek desire over duty.

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.

Reviews for The Gospel According to Starbucks: Living with a Grande Passion

Praise for The Gospel According to Starbucks® “Cultural barista Leonard Sweet serves up a triple venti cup of relevant insights to wake up decaffeinated Christians. Careful, the book you’re about to enjoy is extremely hot.” –Ben Young, pastor, author of Why Mike’s Not a Christian “Reading this book is a caffeine jolt. Get ready to be accelerated into the future, with Jesus a central part of the experience.” –Dan Kimball, pastor, author of The Emerging Church and They Like Jesus, But Not the Church “The Gospel According to Starbucks® inspires us to quit playing safe and mediocre lives and to fulfill our God-given potential. Leonard Sweet uncovers God’s purpose for people not just as individuals but also as communities. An outstanding and thought-provoking book.” –Paul McGee, international speaker, best-selling author of S.U.M.O. (Shut Up, Move On®) “I have a massive passion for passion. It’s my favorite spiritual topic. And I have a nominal coffee obsession, Starbucks being my ritual more often than not. So what a treat to read Leonard Sweet’s extra-shot weaving together of the two–all in the hope that each of us will drink in the meaningful and passion-filled life we were designed for.” –Mark Oestreicher, president of Youth Specialties
