Cats, Coffee & Jesus Laurie A Oakes

Many churches have beautifully worded mission statements, pristine lawns and attractive buildings. Children of God should be encouraged and thriving. Instead, they're leaving the church in droves. They're discouraged, unmotivated and lonely. How has this happened?Cats, Coffee & Jesus takes on these controversial questions, but this book is a lot more than ruffling a few feathers. It discusses life. Real life. Not the everything's okay 24/7 pretend life that many believers like to portray. Life is hard! It's okay for people to struggle! Jesus understands wounded hearts and has great compassion for the hurting. The church needs to follow His lead. Every believer in Christ should be encouraged and empowered. We need to appreciate each person's spiritual journey. As God's children we're a family. Let's start acting like it!
