People Get Ready: Twelve Jesus-Haunted Misfits, Malcontents, and Dreamers in Pursuit of Justice

“Jesus-haunted” and “misfits”? Sounds like a book I have to check out.

The best part is, the book is out now, and I’d love to see you at our live virtual book launch on Friday at 6:30 pm ET. It’s going to be on YouTube. Just click HERE to join.

I’ll be there along with editors Shea Tuttle (author of Exactly as You Are: The Life and Faith of Mister Rogers), Peter Slade (author of Open Friendship in a Closed Society: Mission Mississippi and a Theology of Friendship), and Jacqueline Bussie (author of Love Without Limits: Jesus' Radical Vision for Love with No Exceptions).
