In his highly readable and at times humorous style, S. James Meyer addresses a simple but obvious truth about the Catholic Church: sometimes it struggles to connect with people. Rather than dwell on the problem, however, he offers practical yet sage advice on how those in the Church can connect with others who are in, around, on the edge, orbiting, and outside the church, which is kind of what Jesus did. It’s a fun, conversational guide that makes great fodder for parish and staff discussion groups or anyone in ministry.S. James Meyer
