Comments About The Book:  

I've read the book...have you?! It took a while to read it because my 18 yr old daughter kept giving them away. She and her private christian school peers were excited to pick it apart and also enjoyed it's realism. An older daughter immediately started reading the book and thought that that it hit upon the reasons why she has refused to find a church as an adult. She may give "religion" another try, (though her salvation was never lost). When a book was left in a hotel room, the front clerk asked if she could read it during the night shift while no one was looking. She was afraid to touch it for fear of lightning strikes. I look forward to using it as a tool to win over a friend who is "anti-religion", "anti-chrisitianity", and "anti-Jesus and the Bible". He immediately was interested in the book by looking at the title. Steve Hughes’ primary audience is clear....not those who already believe and know Jesus. But I can see where he would like those most quick to judge to read it and see where they could practice a more loving Christianity with non-believers. Win them with love, not criticism.

The word "sh.." is such a mild expletive and certainly doesn't judge the heart just by its use, especially in this case when the use of the word is to draw people to a loving relationship with Jesus. I've witnessed it doing so.

The book is phenomenal. I'm 23 years old and I've grown up in church. I love Jesus but have never been comfortable or satisfied with things the way they are. "Oh Shit, It's Jesus!" has really helped to put words to my thoughts and encouraged me to simplify my life. To let go of all the stuff that doesn't really matter, and just follow Jesus. He loves us. And He is good.  I am part of a fantastic community of people.  My pastor has your book too.  It's been really great for all of us to get down to the root of what this is all about and live it.  It's good.  Thanks for writing and sharing.

grace and peace to you

The subtitle says it perfectly - "the relevance of Jesus without all the religious crap."
This is a fascinating book, very easy and quick to read, and hard to put down. It feels like you're having a friendly conversation in a coffee shop... or maybe hiking with a friend on a trail... talking about THE most important topic there is. It's approachable and concise, with plenty of humor and refreshing honesty.
If you've ever wondered whether Jesus is really relevant for your life - if you want to investigate Christianity with an open mind - I encourage you to give this book a try.

thank you for your book. i think America is in a grass roots religious revolution that is much needed. your gentle writing style makes it easy to read and understand "the relevance of Jesus without all the religious crap" so that no one should be offended but rather feel the embrace of God's love. anyway, i already know who i'm going to give my copy to, and i pray it affects them in a positive way, just as you intended.

My aunt is really into new age stuff and really enjoyed your book. she read the whole thing in a 3 hour car ride to flagstaff. She was sucked into the book and was really surprised by your openness and thoughts towards hell.  We've been having a family reunion all week long here in Arizona!  Very stressful!  But, your book has provided for much enjoyable, deep, thoughtful conversation in my family. It was really cool to hear my family discuss spirituality, prompted from your book.  Amazing....considering my family is a bunch of redneck loones and hicks.  My dad loves your book, and he plans on writing his thoughts later. Love you much steve!  Kelly

Steve, the book is great. I knew it would be so I bought 2 to begin with and have already given one away. Totally a God talk starter! Way to GO!!!
