How Jesus Ended up in the Food Court : 77 Devotional Thoughts You Never Thought about Before, Used [Paperback]

Doug Mendenhall has learned how to ask good questions: "Where would God go for a vacation?" "What if the devil had to update his hymnal?" "Who says the prodigal son didn't have fun?" "Which NFL team is # 1 in the Bible?" "How do you pray for the Easter bunny?" Since the summer of 2000 Doug has written a weekly newspaper column with two goals in mind. First, to help experienced Christians rediscover old jewels of truth from a new angle, so that they shine brightly even in jaded eyes. Second, to avoid using churchy words and a preachy tone of voice. Doug's wife says he's just weird. Maybe she's right, but Doug doesn't see why writing about something as awe-inspiring as divinity, humanity and eternity should be placid, predictable or tepid. This book contains 77 of his favorite "Soul Food" columns from the first five years. "I hope they feed your soul," he says, "even if they give you a touch of heartburn from that extra pinch of spice." Everyone will enjoy this collection of Christian parables, stories and musings sprinkled with humor and leavened with a love for the Word.
