Venti Jesus Please
Venti Jesus Please captures the conversation of three teens- a Christian, atheist and agnostic - at their local Starbucks, as they dialogue about life, God, truth and relationship. Told from the perspective of the atheist teen, these friends converse about their lives and challenges, which leads to the Christian teen sharing from his heart about how the truth of the gospel message and a relationship with Jesus have affected him personally.
Venti Jesus Please is designed to be read by believing teens and then be given away to those teens' unbelieving friends. For believing teens, the book serves as a motivator and model to teens of how to share their faith within an everyday conversation. It also gives them a means of bringing God up with those friends they gave the book to. For unbelieving teens, Venti Jesus Please clearly, concisely and compellingly presents the truth of the gospel message in a relevant, post-modern way.

What Others Are Saying About Venti Jesus Please
I have been in student ministry since 1997. I have given students more books than I can count to read over the years. This is the first and only book that students come back and say, "Can I get another copy of Venti Jesus Please? I want to give it to a friend but I want to keep my copy."
I have told students, "Give your copy away and I will always have some you can pick up another one." My small group of nine girls has given away 30 copies at last count! They have loaned copies as well. They tell me that students at school see them with the catchy title and cover and ask about it and then they enter into a conversation about spiritual matters and give them the book. Then a few days later, they follow up with them. One student said one of her friends read it that afternoon and called her that evening to talk about it! Several have won friends to the Lord as a direct result of reading this book!
This book helps make evangelism easy and natural for students. I think that youth ministers everywhere need to keep several spare copies around for students to give to their friends! Thanks for writing this awesome evangelism tool!
