About this ebook

What does an atheist think about church? Jim Henderson decided that the best way to find out was to ask! So he recruited an atheist—Matt Casper—to visit twelve leading churches with him and give the "first impression" perspective of a non-believer. Week after week, this spiritual odd couple attended services at churches all over the country and documented their experiences at and reactions to each one. Along the way, they found the real value of their journey in the open and authentic friendship that developed as they talked, questioned, joked, and—most important—listened. Follow along with Jim and Casper on their visits, and eavesdrop as they discuss what they found. Their articulate, sometimes humorous, and always insightful dialogue offers Christians a new view of an environment where we've become overly comfortable: the church.

About the author

Jim is fascinated with the power of listening. He invites people to eavesdrop on his interviews with Outsiders of all stripes to hear what they think about spiritual matters. These conversations motivated Jim to write a number of books, including Jim and Casper Go to Church (with Matt Casper), a book that documents the journey of a Christian and an atheist visiting a variety of churches together. His production company, Jim Henderson Presents creates live events designed to Take Jesus Public. Jim holds a D. Min in transformational leadership and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fox Television, and This American Life with Ira Glass.

Matt Casper has had more than fifty jobs. One of which is writing books. Jim & Casper Go to Church was his first full-length effort. Saving Casper is his second. He is also a singer/guitar-slinger, a marketer, a halfway decent cook, and a devoted, doting father to two delightful children. And Matt enjoys starting sentences with conjunctions and writing about himself in the third person.
