This has to be the best titled book I've ever read. Once you read the subtitle, you understand the subject is not what you might think. How to Pick Up a Stripper is about how to live your life in the mindset of servant outreach. Outreach does not have to happen only when organized as part of a large group or as part of an outreach week or event. The opportunity to serve others happens every day and this book shows how we can make it part of our lifestyle.
As someone who works in ministry to women coming out of prostitution, this title immediately grabbed my attention. I read in just a couple days and would highly recommend this for everyone! The authors do an excellent job showing how every personality type, whether introvert or extrovert, can be called to serve others on a regular basis. Several examples are given of ways the authors church has implemented a servant attitude towards others. I have already shared many of these with my pastor in hopes of changing the culture of my own home and church.
We are called as Christians to love others as Christ has loved us. This selection challenges us to love not only those who we like, but also those who we may see as our enemies and others who are very different from us. If you want a book to challenge you to live more like Christ, then this is definitely a great one to read!
