Life lessons and almost irreverent musings from twenty-five years in the global coffee industry.
When many Christians take a long, hard look at the lives of the spiritual elite in America, they want to shout, "I don't want to be like that!" Ron DeMiglio knows how they feel and he's not afraid to do the shouting—even when those shouts are sometimes directed at himself.
Coffee, the World, and Jesus is a collection of mildly contrarian musings from this international coffee businessman who happens to love Jesus. In these humorous vignettes about the relational, flawed, unwavering faith Ron clings to, readers will find glimmers of their own daily struggles to reflect Christ in a fallen world. For the religiously cautious, the disillusioned, and jaded followers of Christianity, this is a refreshing look at how God reveals Himself to be so much bigger than politics, dogmas, or western influences.
Ron's sidesplitting series of stories about how he found his spiritual groove smack-dab in the middle of his God-breathed, coffee-scented uniqueness will appeal to readers looking for a quick bite of spiritual growth with their next latte.

My Take:
I was introduced to Mr. DeMiglio through one of my favorite author's, Jim Rubart, and Mr. DeMiglio sent me a complimentary copy to read.
I am a drinker of coffee, although that is not required to read an enjoy this book. As the owner of Eko Brands, a coffee company, Mr. DeMiglio traveled the world looking at what else, coffee beans. In his debut book he shares what he has learned not only as a businessman but a follower of Christ as he traveled. His stories have humor and a nugget of truth in them. As I read I was reminded of the parables that Christ told. If you have ever listened to a missionary share their stories at church on a Sunday or Wednesday and walked away inspired. Then this book is a must read.
I have an extra copy of this book that I am going to giveaway. Just follow the instructions and you'll be entered.

I'm not familiar with this author, but his book sounds really good. (And you said it's a must read, right?) It will be fun to see what he says about coffee, as well as talking about Jesus.
I wasn't either. Yes, in my opinion it is must read. I don't read much non-fiction mainly cuz it bores me to tears. Lol This book is far from boring and I believe you will enjoy it. Did you enter the giveaway?
