The Beer Drinker's Guide to God: The Whole and Holy Truth

The Beer Drinker's Guide to God: The Whole and Holy Truth About Lager, Loving, and Living

Itâ€™s no accident that Jesusâ€™ first miracle was turning water into wine! Written by an Episcopalian priest-slash-bar owner, this thoughtful, well-written book of spiritual essays distills lessons about the character of God from stories about adult beverages.

â€œOh taste and see that the Lord is good.â€ â€”Psalm 34:8

Being upright does not mean you have to be uptightâ€”at least according to Father Bill Miller, an Episcopal priest/bar owner. As a fan of both spirits and the Holy Spirit, he is very familiar with the intoxicating lure of some of Godâ€™s finer creations, and in The Beer Drinkerâ€™s Guide to God he brews up insightful, beautifully written reflections about the strange intersections of God, and, wellâ€¦beer.

In this humorous collection of essays, he weaves together stories from his life in ministry, his travels in search of the worldâ€™s best Scotch, his conversations with Trappist monks, and colorful evenings in his bar, Padreâ€™s. He also reflects on the lessons heâ€™s learned from baseball, Playboy bunnies, Las Vegas, and his attempts to become chaplain to the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, all while (somehow) crafting essays about the spiritual importance of generosity, sacrifice, openness, and spiritual transformation. Really.

Essays include:

Â· WWJD: What Would Jesus Drink?
Â· Brewed Over Me and Distill Me, O Lord
Â· Pearls of Great Price
Â· Chicken Soup for the Hooters Girlâ€™s Soul
Â· Miss Hawaii and Other Miss Takes
Â· Donâ€™t Leave me Hanging: The Theological Significance of Athletic Supporters

From the deeply touching to the laugh-out-loud funny, these stories ultimately open our minds to the glory of God and our mouths to some of Godâ€™s more delicious creations. The Beer Drinkerâ€™s Guide to God is a smart, hilarious book for those thirsty for Godâ€™s truth.
