Read About the Rose

Who needs to read Think Red?

I believe everyone who follows Jesus and shares his passion for the Church will enjoy reading Think Red. However, when I wrote the book I kept thinking about Christians, like myself, who are frustrated and bored with the status quo of consumer–based religion. There are a lot of church leaders, young and old alike, who are looking for a way to break down the old restrictive paradigms of church growth and create new expressions of Christ–like community.

Think Red has a variety of anecdotal stories . . . is there one story you enjoy telling more than others?

The context of our story is Louisville, Kentucky—the home of horse races and bourbon. I heard a news reporter ask our Mayor once which bourbon he liked best. (In our town that is a politically loaded question.) He responded like a good politician, “My favorite bourbon is the one in my hand.” That’s the way I feel about the stories I tell—The one I’m telling at the moment is always my favorite! But if I were forced to choose one story over all the others, it’s the story I tell in the introduction about the rose I discovered at the corner of 18th and Baird Street. That story sets the tone for the rest of the book.

I hope people enjoy reading the stories in Think Red as much as I enjoy telling them. But more importantly, I hope the stories inspire others to create whimsical Jesus stories of their own.
