Author Leonard Sweet guides readers from the coffee shop right to the heart of God in this handbook that reveals unexpected spiritual lessons discovered at the local Starbucks. The successful coffee corporation recognizes that people are drawn in through visual icons, and it beats competitors because its design sensibility is superior-indeed, its imagery is shot through with "spiritual significance." Just as people like to drink coffee together, people seek community and connection in religious settings. Sweet suggests Christianity must move beyond rational, logical apologetics, and instead find ways of showing people that it can offer "symbols and meaningful engagement."
