Sulis author Michael J. Clemens has devised an unusual method to promote his book. Juneau, Alaska, the hometown of Michael, serves as a port of call for numerous cruise ships. Recognizing the potential of vacationers disembarking at the port, he created a large poster and cards containing information and QR links to his book. Additionally, he carries a few copies on hand to distribute to anyone who shows interest.
Michael has written an article about the experience, which you can read here, which was published in the Juneau Independent.
Why aren’t Christians more like Jesus?
by Michael J. Clemens
It is not enough to just know about Jesus. To be his follower, his disciple, you must get to know and be known by Jesus. Why? Discipleship involves spiritual growth—an ongoing process with the goal of life-long transformation. Jesus said, “follow me,” but instead, today, many religious leaders say, “come to church.” What do the words and actions of some churchgoers bring to the minds of average, unchurched people? What do people tell pollsters about America’s Christians, how would they label them? For some, it has not been “Christlike.” Why aren’t Christians more like Jesus? Church history suggests how it happened, the Bible answers why, and the basic teachings of Jesus provide the solution.
