Description

"I'm OK--You're Not" is a Biblically-based, powerful (and, throughout, a powerfully humorous) argument for the case that here in America we Christians have for so long been so energetically emphasizing the Great Commission that at this point, by continuing to press upon people a belief system they already know about and have already rejected, we’re working not only to the detriment of the Great Commission, but also against that other humongous To Do item Jesus gave us, the Great Commandment. If you feel guilty because you rarely or never evangelize, this is the book for you.

Richard Louv, author of the international bestseller, "Last Child in the Woods" (www.richardlouv.com) had this to say about 'I'm OK--You're Not": “John Shore is one of those rare writers who can make people laugh and think at the same time. Irreverently reverent, 'I’m OK–You’re Not' is a book perfect for the times we’re in. Ministers should read a chapter to their congregations every Sunday. That would be the Christian thing to do, because John offers us compassionate laughter during a most uncompassionate and unfunny period of our nation’s history. Non-Christians will love this book, too–which proves John’s point.”

"I'm OK--You're Not" won the 2006 San Diego Book Award for "Best Spirituality/Religion." About the book, Michael Spencer (aka, the Internet Monk) wrote, ” …. Shore is a humorist whose work is more comedic than Donald Miller, and his appeal to Christians is more direct. Shore is preaching and teaching under the comedy, and he’s very effective as a critic and motivator. Shore turns evangelism upside down and engages in just enough hyperbole to effectively make the point. ... Shore ends each chapter with sets of extended comments from unbelievers on what they want to say to Christians. Shore calls these sections 'Ouch,' and that’s what they are. These unbelievers are articulate, thoughtful and way out in front of many Christians on the subject of love, respect and dialog."
