Review:

Jesus loves you... this I know

What would you do? The world’s most famous male porn star has invited you to have dinner with him at a restaurant where female staff members are selected primarily for their bust measurements. You agree to go but then one of the waitresses spots the celebrity and asks you to take a photo of her nine-year-old son standing with the porn star…What would you do?

The ten short chapters of this book are packed full of the dilemmas and opportunities that have faced two pastors working in some of the most morally challenging situations possible.

Harper and Gross’s heartbeat for mission pulses through every page. Attention-grabbing stories of interacting with hoards of drunken teenagers, of giving away thousands of ‘God Loves Porn Stars’ Bibles at an adult film trade show, or of part-time debt-collecting are inspirational. They challenge us to rethink how we bring the light of the gospel to the darkest places of the 21st century.

HIGH: Highly quotable and inspirational stories of grace-filled mission.

LOW: Somewhat superficial use of scripture and plenty of Christian jargon made it difficult for me to recommend either to a Christian or a non-Christian reader.
