Here's the bottom line: Jesus loves lost people. He wants us to love lost people too.
We worry about trying to build intentional relationships with non-Christians: Will we understand one another? Will we offend them? How uncomfortable will it be?
Jesus regularly ate with sinners - people in need of God, just like you and me. Why? Because Jesus longed to eat with them in heaven.
The incredible journey of following Jesus involves sharing who he is while sharing our lives with others. Over food and drink, through conversations filled with stories and insights, people come to know the love of God and the hope of salvation.
Eats with Sinners shows you how to let down your guard so God's love can flow through you and get out across the table to your non-Christian friends. They'll taste and see that the Lord is good as you invite them to one day feast with Jesus in heaven.

In Eats with Sinners, Arron Chambers reminds us of the power of love in reaching people for Jesus. He reminds us that love is always the best context through which to share the truth. And he reminds us that there are no lost causes.- Mark Batterson, Bestselling author of Chase the Lion.
It's so easy to forget that the people who live on our streets, who we see on the news, who believe differently than we do, whose lifestyles may make us uncomfortable, all bear the holy image of God and carry the same fears, the same loneliness, the same ultimate longings that Christians do. Eats with Sinners is a gentle call to emulate a God who, when we were still far off, met us in Christ and brought us home. - Andrew Peterson, singer/songwriter.
