{"product_id":"me-jesus-a-beer-and-bob-dickinson-9781662838538","title":"Me, Jesus, a Beer and a Cigar","description":"Bob Dickinson is a veteran media and business development executive who has written corporately for various sports and entertainment companies. Since 2015, he has operated his own business development firm with a penchant for advocacy, as well as a foundation that focuses on STEAM education and sports. In 2020-21, he authored the Jeremiah James weekly blog and periodically contributed to Like the Dew: A Journal of Progressive Southern Culture and Politics. He is active in various faith-based ministries, including One Race and Bridging the Gap. Dickinson lives in the greater Atlanta area. He is currently working on a book of political allegory short stories and a play. We all fight for normalcy-or whatever we believe that is. We seek it. We long for it. But we often can't define it. In Me, Jesus, a Beer, and a Cigar, Dickinson indicates that we may not be asking the right questions or even thinking the correct thoughts. Perhaps abnormal is a better direction-depending again on how one defines it. With a backdrop of a pandemic, the George Floyd murder, and an incredibly divisive political climate, Dickinson shares thoughts for everyday living that are designed to shake the normalcy of Christians, non-Christians and fence-sitters. The thoughts present situations often in a starkly different way than many choose to view life, not to mention how they view their own faith and Christianity: Why taking a knee during the national anthem to say a prayer may honor the flag and not desecrate it; how a young man growing up in the projects falls into a scenario that forces a conservative White family to question the taboo of abortion; and how reaching out to a family in need at Christmas may not be the perfect answer for joyful giving. Sit back. Prepare for the abnormal. Prepare to be uncomfortable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Dickinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1662838530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662838538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xulon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Bob Dickinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050765545727,"sku":"9781662838538","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbbc6b63-1de4-4fcd-bbb9-1dac9bc921a1.jpg?v=1685009115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/me-jesus-a-beer-and-bob-dickinson-9781662838538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
