Title: Venti Jesus Please

Author: Greg Stier

Date I Finished Reading: September 12, 2012

My Rating: 4/5

This resource from Dare 2 Share ministries, is great…just a little too short . This story is only around 80 or 100 pages long, but can really be a helpful tool for christian teens who want to share their faith. The book is a simple story about 3 buddies getting into a spiritual discussion at Starbucks. There is one christian witnessing to 2 non-believers in a loving, friendly way. The book is written in the point of view of an atheist, and shows how we can lovingly witness to others without “cramming religion down their throat”. I would highly recommend my fellow teens to take an hour or so to read this book… it could very much benefit yourself, and your confidence in witnessing.

I went to Dare 2 Share: Seattle this weekend with our youth group and was very impressed by what Greg had to say, both to the kids and to us as leaders. Sondra and I decided to pick up several copies of this book for the kids to read and to use when witnessing to thier friends. I read it on the ride home. It was really great.
The book is written from the point of view of an atheist teenager. It lets us listen in on a conversation between him and two of his best friends - one a Christian and the other an agnostic - as they talk about life, God, truth and relationships.

This book was amazing. I am on the second one of his books. I recommened this to people who belive in God. This girl does not belive in God so they try to change her and they do. Greg Stier is probably one of my favorite authors. I have read two books from him already. The first one is called Venti Jesus Please. Its about a group of kids who belive in God. The group of kids try to convince others in their school to belive in God. After this happens the neext book came out called Passion Fuel.

Venti Jesus Please is well done, easy to read, powerful. Three high school friends in a coffee shop talking about partying, life, sex, and then Jesus. One youth presents the gospel including some Liar, Lunatic and Lord, nice chapter on evolution/creation and a whole lot on grace, sin, and life.

Theologically, a bit too much burn in hell, but worth reading as the love does out shine the conservative picture of God. Good for 10th and above.

THis is an amazing book from an apologetics standpoint. Stier totally knows exactly what he is talking about and it is a good read for both Christians and for the spiritual journeymen (and journeywomen) of today. My only complaint is that the dialogue used in the novella is a little stiff and is only used in certain parts of the country

As someone who is not entirely sure of my faith, this book allowed me an insight into a friendship quite like some one of my own. It opened my eyes and caused me to think about some of the things I believe in without pushing me towards a certain side.
