Coffee, the World, and Jesus, But Not Necessarily in That Order

By Ron Demiglio

Life lessons and almost irreverent musings from twenty-five years in the global coffee industry

When many Christians take a long, hard look at the lives of the spiritual elite in America, they want to shout, "I don't want to be like that!" Ron DeMiglio knows how they feel and he's not afraid to do the shouting--even when those shouts are sometimes directed at himself.

Coffee, the World, and Jesus is a collection of mildly contrarian musings from this international coffee businessman who happens to love Jesus. In these humorous vignettes about the relational, flawed, unwavering faith Ron clings to, readers will find glimmers of their own daily struggles to reflect Christ in a fallen world. For the religiously cautious, the disillusioned, and jaded followers of Christianity, this is a refreshing look at how God reveals Himself to be so much bigger than politics, dogmas, or western influences.

Ron's sidesplitting series of stories about how he found his spiritual groove smack-dab in the middle of his God-breathed, coffee-scented uniqueness will appeal to readers looking for a quick bite of spiritual growth with their next latte.

Funny, thought provoking, and convicting, not necessarily in that order!

I had the honor of meeting Ron. Didn't know him from Adam, the Adam from Genesis. I thought this guy is really funny! And he always found the opportunity to mention Jesus. Then I thought, this guy really knows Jesus! I asked him, he told me. Told my sister and I that he wrote a book, then he proceeded to give my sister a copy of his book, ( I was dead to him) . You'll get that after you read his book. This book is so funny, I was laughing out loud, kinda real loud in a public place, an airplane! He writes just like he talks. If you are looking for a funny, encouraging, real life experience, you gotta read this book. He is honest with his ego, embarrassing moments, his failures and the grace that Jesus offers all of us.
