About John Shore

A former magazine writer and editor, John Shore’s life as a Christian writer began the moment when, at 38 years old, he was very suddenly (and while in a supply closet at his job, of all places) walloped by the benevolent hand of God.

 

 

 

John's most recent book is Midlife Manual for Men, which he co-authored with Stephen Arterburn, author of the best-selling Every Man series and host of the nationally syndicated Christian radio show, New Life Live. Midlife Manual is the first of four books John and Steve will be writing together for Bethany House Publishers; the next, Being Christian, will be out in September 2008. John is also the author of I'm OK--You're Not: The Message We're Sending Non-Christians and Why We Should Stop (NavPress); Penguins, Pain and the Whole Shebang (Seabury Books); and co-author, with Richard Lederer, of Comma Sense (St. Martin's). Both Penguins and Comma Sense won San Diego Book Awards for best books in their respective categories (Religious/Spiritual, and How To/Reference).

Modesty. Bragging. Wanting to inform. Who can tell them apart?

The Midwest Book Review just published a review of my humble tome, I'm OK--You're Not: The Message We're Sending Nonbelievers and Why We Should Stop.

“Penned with gentle charm, Christian humor, love, and understanding," they wrote, "I’m OK - You’re Not deserves to be required reading for any Christian considering embarking upon an evangelical mission or career.”

Isn't that great? And wasn't it great when Famous Christian Communicator Guy Stephen Arterburn, author of the mega-bestseller Every Man's Battle and founder of New Life Ministries, said of the same book, “John Shore helps us accept that we aren’t OK, and that’s OK. As with all of John’s books, I’m OK–You’re Not is very insightful, and very funny.”

Which tickled me as much as Jim Burns, of HomeWord with Jim Burns fame, saying about I'm OK, “John Shore has reminded us that there really is a positive, healthy, life-changing way to share our life and faith–and that there is also a very toxic way to do it. With incredible wit and lots of wisdom, Shore reminds us that God loves us in the midst of all our weirdness and quirkiness, and that we are to do the same to others."

And you can't beat the associate editor of Outreach magazine doing a whole interview with me about the book, called Good News Gone Bad?

Okay, I'll stop now. But if, perchance, you'd care to see more love for I'm OK, go here.
