Publisher's summary

"I love everything that Scott Sauls writes." (Christine Caine)

What if Christians became the best advertisement for Jesus?

Jesus said his followers would be a light to the world and a city on a hill - a warmly inviting, neighbor-loving, grace-and-truth filled destination for all. He envisioned his followers as life-giving neighbors, bosses, employees, and friends, the kind of people who return even insults with kindness and persecution with prayers. Rooted in biblical convictions, they would extend love, empathy, and care to one another as well as to those who don't share their beliefs. Over time their movement would become irresistible to every nation, tribe, and tongue.

Irresistible Faith is a blueprint for pursuing this vision in our current moment, of redeemed individuals and a renewed community working for a restored world. This is a way of being that gives a tired, cynical world good reason to pause and reconsider Christianity - and to start wishing it was true.

"I miss the kind of church Scott describes in this book, and I don’t think I am alone." (Donald Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz and Building a StoryBrand)

"An important call to resist the urge to lobby and position ourselves, but rather to be driven by gospel-powered love." (Raechel Myers, founder and CEO of She Reads Truth)

"An antidote to much that is wrong with our western, American version of Christianity. " (Gabe and Rebekah Lyons, authors and founders of Q Ideas)

Irresistible Read

This book was smooth like butter and easy to digest. The narrator did a great job expressing the passion of the author without being condescending or judgemental. The book serves as a great reminder to serve the world using our gifts without judgment and self-righteousness.

Faith

We can all use more of “this” . Very applicable to every day life . Only God

Amazing!

I heard of Scott Sauls and this book recommendation of Annie F. Downs podcast and I'm so glad I got this book. I recently resigned from my position of working in a church. Not for toxic reasons. My husband and I had a baby and I decided to stay home. With my departure from a job in outreach that I absolutely loved I felt like less of a person because I wasn't working. I love how Sauls spoke and snapped me out of my pity-party funk and reminded me that ALL work, not just in a church, is good. I 100% recommend this book to anyone. If you work (we all do!) and if you are looking for clarity and purpose in your work life and how faith is woven in our work life, get this book and listen to it.

Thoughtful

so good

This is an important message all believers in Christ should hear/read. It is so easy to forget God's design for what Christianity is all about. This book puts it in such simple terms and brings to light how our lives should be sharing the Gospel wherever we are in whatever we are doing.

Inspirational and Practical

Our purpose....to leave the world better than we found it. Love people, places and things to Life.

Challenging and Excellent

This is a great book that challenges our thoughts about our faith. He has a great section toward the end about how our faith intersects and transforms our work. I hope we will let this book inform us and change the way we take our faith into the world. Very thought-provoking!
