Recent research indicates that 65 million people have fled the church. Of these, 30.5 million still want to serve Jesus, but they no longer want to associate with Jesus’ people. Why did they leave? What might we learn from them? In Meeting Jesus at Starbucks, J. Patrick Vaughn refuses to dismiss the Dones as angry malcontents. Instead, he listens closely to their pain and disappointment, and he invites the reader to join him in reflecting on a series of questions: How is leaving an important and viable practice for the church? For what are so many of us searching? Why is gathering important in loving and following Jesus? What can the Dones teach us about serving? Why is laughing a timely and vital expression of faith? With a very engaging and conversational style, Vaughn helps us to appreciate anew some of the central themes of Christian faith.
