"Blessed Are the Uncool is a passionate call to return to personal and spiritual authenticity, a spiritually intelligent rebuke to those of us who often forget that as believers, we are called to follow Jesus and not social norms. This book challenges us all to resist the natural urge to be conformed to our world and inspires us to trust Jesus for a powerful inward transformation that will cause a prevailing and appealing draw of others to follow him."

In this book Grant shows that the church must avoid worrying about being "cool" and instead spread the warmth of God’s love. An excellent discussion starter for youth or young adult classes, yet all ages could benefit from Grant’s insights.

From the title I had expected a light-hearted book on coolness but found one that, while often humorous, packs a lot of research into a mere 140 pages.

Blessed are the Uncool will be life affirming for all people (not just teens) who want to break out of that self-protective attitude and be real with the body of Christ.
