Selling Jesus

It's one thing to market cars and deodorant and hamburgers. It's another thing, says Doug Webster, to market Jesus and the gospel. Standing up to a spate of books and seminars that urge churches to model their mission on Madison Avenue methods, Webster sounds an urgently needed wake-up alarm. Selling Jesus is a hard-hitting book that shows how Jesus is more than a product to be hawked, how seekers are more than a matter of meeting "felt needs." But Selling Jesus doesn't merely challenge. It moves beyond penetrating criticism to the next step, suggesting faithful and powerful alternatives to marketing the church. Selling Jesus is a necessary book for those who are beginning to wonder if evangelism and missions really aren't synonymous with product promotion.

For more than two thousand years Christian expansion and proselytizing was couched in terms of ''defending the faith.'' Until recently in the United States, much of that defense came in the form of reactions against the ''liberal'' influences channeled through big-corporate media such as popular music, Hollywood movies, and network and cable television. But the election of Ronald Reagan as a Hollywood President introduced Christian America to the tools of advertising and multimedia appeals to children and youth to win new believers to God's armies. Christotainment examines how Christian fundamentalism has realigned its armies to combat threats against it by employing the forces it once considered its chief enemies: the entertainment media, including movies, television, music, cartoons, theme parks, video games, and books. Invited contributors discuss the critical theoretical frameworks of top-selling devices within Christian pop culture and the appeal to masses of American souls through the blessed marriage of corporatism and the quest for pleasure.

Effective communication is perhaps the most fundamental skill shared in common by successful salespeople. Yet, far too often, new salespeople are released into the field with little to no training, and are not prepared to withstand the tremendous pressures they will face to compromise in their pursuit of the elusive sale. Salespeople resent buyers who take advantage of them, while buyers become alienated and walk away from salespeople who stubbornly and defensively stand their ground. A potentially profitable exchange for both degenerates into a contest of wills that ends poorly for both sides. Jesus Christ, the master communicator, shows us a better way. His conversations with friends and foes alike illustrate how to communicate effectively without compromise: showing respect, building trust, and standing one's ground in a way that nurtures relationships rather than breeding resentment and division. In this inspiring and informative book, Deb Brown Maher unpacks seven characteristics of Jesus' method of interacting with people and shows how to apply them to totally transform the way people approach a sale, pursuing sales conversations with honesty and integrity, and demonstrating equal concern for the needs of potential buyers. Discover the importance of character, connection, clarity, comprehension, certainty, choice and commitment--and learn to sell like Jesus!
