“The Likeable Christian makes the compelling observation that Christians can spend more time defending their faith rather than living it out. Justin challenges us to take a hard look at the way we treat people and revisit the way Jesus lived.”

“I wish The Likeable Christian had been around for me to read when I was young in my faith. Justin’s message is universal and important. It offers guidance and reassurance to those of us who are looking to live out biblical teachings more fully and in a way that won’t ostracize us from others.”

“Anyone who has felt disliked because of his or her faith needs to read this book. In The Likeable Christian, Justin talks about the many reasons a Christian can be hated for his or her beliefs, and offers practical wisdom and insight about how we can win the hearts of many without compromising our convictions.”

“I applaud Justin Lathrop for challenging the stance that being Christian automatically makes us unlikeable. His book shows us that we can use our convictions as Christians to fuel our compassion and, ultimately, make us more likeable.”

“Justin Lathrop is one of the most likeable Christians I know! But more than an accolade, this is a strategic skill that is both needed and necessary for advancing the gospel in an increasingly diverse and cynical society. In The Likeable Christian, Justin enthusiastically explains the concept: what it is, what it isn’t, and why it should matter to you.”

“Justin Lathrop raises a timely question for followers of Jesus everywhere. What does it mean to be likeable in an age of vigorous disagreement? Laced with grace and wisdom, The Likeable Christian challenges people everywhere to reflect the goodness, faithfulness, and love of Jesus. This is a book you can’t afford to miss.”

“As leaders, we can often feel that our faith is all about being right, and always having the correct answers to everyone’s questions. Justin reminds us that the way of Jesus is far more about empathizing with people than correcting them. I’m excited for this message of likeability to resonate with leaders everywhere!”

“The Likeable Christian makes the bold, honest observation that, from the world’s perspective, Christians can be kind of, well . . . jerks. I was moved by how Justin challenged me to revise the way I act based on the actions of Jesus. This isn’t your typical Christian book about how to be a better person to impress God. This is a book that challenges us to think about how we treat other people and what that says about our faith.”
