Publisher's summary

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 audiobook, 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.

Satisfaction of simple.

This was refreshing. I went to the same church for 50 years and then learned about the Holy Spirit and the life of Jesus. After knowing this, I wanted my money back. Truly, if we walk like Jesus, talk like Jesus, we will get the results like Jesus. Well explained. Press On!!!

It's all about Jesus

Really enjoyed the read and the approach to sharing the name above all names.

Great book

As with all things, listeners/readers must "eat the meat and spit out the bones." However, I found that there was a lot of protein in this book. I found myself more empowered to not only love the person of Jesus Christ but to talk about him to nonbelievers and believers alike with hopes that they will also develop a love and trust for who he is and what he desires to do in our lives. Thumbs up, from me.

I love this book!!

This was my 3rd listen in as many years. Thank you, Carl, for writing this book. It speaks to my heart and makes me yearn for more closeness with Jesus and to follow him ever closer. Jesus, friend of sinners. My heart rejoices.

Refreshing & Intriguing

I liked that Carl has opened up honest dialog with individuals in his sphere of influence that identify with Christian beliefs about what following Jesus looks like without a lot of the trappings. After reading Speaking Of Jesus: The Art of Not-Evangelism, I see how it is placing the cart before the horse (so to speak) in fulfilling the great commission if motives, attitudes, and preconceptions are misguided. I would recommend this book to two types. First, to anyone that wants to grow in their Christian faith I have found value in these pages and I think you will too. Second, to anyone that just needs a confidence boost to open up conversation with another (whether in missionary work or not). Carl shows that there is success in just being yourself. The rating reflects the content of the book and the quality of the narration.

Good read

Good read! Especially practical experiences author narrates at the end of the book. You became more open for mingling with people that are different than you.

this will challenge your evangelism pyramid!

I have been so involved in systems and different 3 steps to soul winning programs that seemed to miss the point, it was refreshing and challenging to hear how the author brought everything back to following Jesus.

Quit defending Christianity

Phenomenal book. The entire book is about Jesus. The good news. Reminding me who He is and who the enemy of Jesus is. It’s about delivery, love, and how to speak of Jesus. Pure and simple.
