Sex, Sushi, and Salvation

Posted on March 27th, 2008 in Faith, Reviews by Fred

So I received a copy of the book “Sex, Sushi, and Salvation” book this week. It’s by Christian George, an “author and speaker who enjoys good jazz and kung fu”. I’m excited and eager to jump in. I’m a slooooow reader, maybe because I’m a full-time Worship Pastor, Husband, Dad of 4 little ones, blog, write, play, and wear the entrepreneur’s hat of running a handful of my own businesses.

First impressions are good … some great endorsements on the back cover. I’ve jumped into the book last night and immediately I was pulled in with this quote from the Introduction:

“It’s simple to say we’re Christians when exams are easy, bills are paid, and all seems right in the world. But when the storms twist our exclamation points into question marks, we discover that there’s more to live than computerized slippers and sexy ring tones. We discover that the world revolves around something greater than ourselves”.

And from Chapter 1:

“God gives us the desire for intimacy so He can satisfy it. We often sing the words, ‘Come, Thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace’, but so often our hearts are tuned to every frequency but the Father’s.”

You can pickup a copy of the book @ Amazon.Com. I look forward to jumping in and enjoying the rest, and will some quotes and reviews posted as I work through it, so …

Stay Tuned.

For the Kingdom,
Fred
