Jim Henderson has been, in our generation, a key leader helping Christians talk to atheists. No one I know has spent more time at this or cares more about it. I enjoy Matt Caspers company too. Their dialogue is an enjoyable and enlightening experience. I have had many aha moments in their company.
BISHOP TODD HUNTER
Professor of Evangelism and Contemporary Culture, and author of Christianity Beyond Belief and Our Favorite Sins
Jim is a smart and humane Christian. Casper is a smart and humane atheist. A book by either man would be worth reading. But put them together and you have something... super-smart and deeply humane. Christians, atheists, and folks in between will gain a lot by hanging out with Jim and Casper in the pages of this book.
BRIAN D. MCLAREN
Speaker, activist, and author of Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?
If youre convinced we need dialogue more than debate, and if youre interested in true conversation rather than conversions for the evangelism stat sheets, this is the how-to book youve been waiting for. With remarkable transparency, vulnerability, and generosity, Jim Henderson and Matt Casper model the relationship-building that stands the best chance of taking Jesus public in a changed American culture.
TOM KRATTENMAKER
USA Today contributing columnist and author of The Evangelicals You Dont Know
Its rare to find a book Christians and non-Christians will like in equal measure. Saving Casper is one of those singular books that accomplishes the feat. Funny, poignant, authentic, brilliant insights... I could go on, but you get the idea. And you need to get this book.
JAMES L. RUBART
Author of Rooms and the Well Spring series
Fresh, relevant, and filled with humor and honesty, Saving Casper offers a satisfying glimpse of what it looks like for two people with different beliefs to be in respectful dialogue. Its obvious that Jim and Casper have a strong relationship despite their differences. And isnt that what loving our neighbor really means?
MARY SCHALLER
President of Q Place
Anxious about evangelism? End it with Saving Casper. This is the Jesus-way of sharing good news.
JONALYN FINCHER
Vice president of Soulation.org and author of Coffee Shop Conversations: Making the Most of Spiritual Small Talk
Saving Casper is wonderfully uncomfortable and beautifully provocative! Personally, I now long to have more Caspers in my life in order to continue my own growth in faith. As a pastor, I hope the people I serve will read this and desire the same. Yes, it is time we commit to stay in the room with each other!
DAVE RODRIGUEZ
Senior pastor of Grace Church, Noblesville, IN
I am an evangelical. I believe I am called to encourage people to know and follow Jesus. But too often we in the evangelical community push people to recite the sinners prayer without letting them know that following Jesus is more than simply a fire escape. Jesus main instruction is for us to love God and to love our neighbor. Yet, when I ask Christians how many non-Christians they have as friends, the answer is usually zero.
I am touched by the relationship between Jim and Casper, and I highly recommend this book for those followers of Jesus who want to know how to interact with outsiders.
GENEVA VOLLRATH
President and CEO emeritus of Stonecroft Ministries
Anyone interested in contemporary evangelism, especially pastors, will enjoy and learn from this humorous and heartening travelogue.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An instant favorite... a great read for making you think. It is a reminder that how you perceive your ministry may not be the same as how those you minister to perceive it.
KENT SHAFFER
Founder of Church Relevance
A road trip book with a difference and an eye-opening account of two solitudes in genuine dialogue.
MACLEANS MAGAZINE
You will never read a more interesting book about how outsiders view the church. Overhearing the conversations between Jim and Casper as they go to church is pure gold. Its like being a reporter who somehow wound up in the White House and overheard the most private workings of government... and then got to use the information to help thousands of people. Jim and Casper will help any church leader who pays attention.
BISHOP TODD HUNTER
Professor of Evangelism and Contemporary Culture, and author of Christianity Beyond Belief and Our Favorite Sins
Jim Henderson is one of the most creative, committed, insightful, honest, affable, and downright interesting people Ive met. That makes me want to hear what he says and read what he writes.
BRIAN D. MCLAREN
Speaker, activist, and author of Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?
Jim & Casper Go to Church is a daring book, way overdue. Jim and Casper call us to listen, to carry on a conversation, and to be honest and open seekers of truth. This is not just a novel idea. It is exactly what Jesus did. We must begin talking to each other about the deep things that matter, the truths that call out for each heart and soul to be discovered, embraced, and known. Jim & Casper Go to Church is an absolute must-read for every pastor, staff member, leader, and person who takes expanding the Kingdom of God in a dark and hopeless world seriously.
