Synopsis

"I love everything that Scott Sauls writes." -- Christine CaineWhat if Christians became the best advertisement for Jesus?Jesus said his followers would be a light to the world and a city on a hill--a warmly inviting, neighbor-loving, grace-and-truth filled destination for all. He envisioned his followers as life-giving neighbors, bosses, employees, and friends, the kind of people who return even insults with kindness and persecution with prayers. Rooted in biblical convictions, they would extend love, empathy, and care to one another as well as to those who don't share their beliefs. Over time their movement would become irresistible to every nation, tribe, and tongue. Irresistible Faith is a blueprint for pursuing this vision in our current moment, of redeemed individuals and a renewed community working for a restored world. This is a way of being that gives a tired, cynical world good reason to pause and reconsider Christianity--and to start wishing it was true."I miss the kind of church Scott describes in this book, and I don’t think I am alone." -- Donald Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz and Building a StoryBrand"An important call to resist the urge to lobby and position ourselves, but rather to be driven by gospel-powered love." -- Raechel Myers, founder and CEO of She Reads Truth "An antidote to much that is wrong with our western, American version of Christianity. " -- Gabe and Rebekah Lyons, authors and founders of Q Ideas

Goodreads review by Josh on May 29, 2022

I struggled with how to rate this. I've said before my ratings are subjective and not necessarily a reflection of the author's skill, but rather how much I enjoyed it, at the time that I read it. I loved the title of this book and I think this most Christians can benefit from it. As believers in the......more

Goodreads review by Wes on January 15, 2019

This book may just be the most timely read for the Christian community as a whole. On one hand, Sauls lays out the basics of the Christian Faith. On the other hand, he shows why these basics are so beautiful and irresistible. One of my favorite chapters proposed a vision of leaving things a “little......more

Goodreads review by Michele on April 22, 2019

The philosophical underpinnings of Christianity point the way to a community where each one competes to show maximum honor and respect to the others. The Bible describes a rule of life that values individuals as carriers of the image of God and the church gathered as a place to be refueled for maxim......more

Goodreads review by Clayton on January 31, 2019

"What if the local church became the world's answer to loneliness and isolation, thereby becoming the life-giving alternative to social media-induced isolation and depression, soul stealing habits, noncommittal cohabitations and lonesome barstools? What if, in the spirit of Scripture’s vision for the......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on January 05, 2021

This is a very encouraging and helpful book. It covers some very well trodden ground (Edwards, Lewis, Keller) and the classic illustrations and applications.......more
