Book Review of Jim and Casper Go to Church: Frank Conversation About Faith, Churches, and Well-Meaning Christians

JohnHenry avatar reviewed on


Jim (the former pastor, now house-painter) and Casper (the atheist) attend twelve churches together, including some of the biggies like Saddleback, Willow Creek, Lakewood, and Potter's House as well as some not so famous ones. In a very entertaining style, the reader gets a look at "the church" through the eyes of an atheist who knows only a bit about church. Casper looks at the things we do in worship and asks why; something we should do more often. This book would make a great discussion starter for a church small group.
