Christians have a PR problem-and Jesus keeps getting blamed for it. If you've ever rolled your eyes at church culture, been burned by "God's people," or wondered why the kindest person in the Gospels keeps getting represented by the worst of us, this book is your oxygen mask.
In Jesus for People Who Don't Like Christians, author Dustin Gross names the mess without flinching-hypocrisy, politics, money, celebrity pastors, weaponized Bible verses, culture-war addiction-and then does the one thing most books won't: he separates Jesus from the brand that hijacked Him. With sharp humor, plain language, and a refusal to hide behind churchy cliches, Gross walks readers from disillusionment to clarity: the problem isn't Jesus; it's how we keep using His name.
Act I exposes the wreckage. Act II lets Jesus speak for Himself-table-flipping honesty, scandalous mercy, inconvenient grace. Act III sketches a sane path forward: how to follow Jesus without becoming that Christian (or needing a PR firm).
This is not a deconversion manifesto and not a press release for the institution. It's a brutally honest, good-faith invitation to recover what's still beautiful and true when the noise dies down. If Christians made you want to quit, don't throw out Jesus with the baptism water. He may be the first to agree with your frustrations-and the One who leads you out of the circus.
Read if you're: church-hurt, faith-curious, allergic to platitudes, or looking for a wisecracking guide who loves Jesus enough to tell the truth.
