"Carlos Rodriguez writes with grace, and about grace. His book is a stunning invitation to look into the face of Jesus and see that the only One who had any right to throw a stone had no desire. We see in Jesus that the closer we are to God, the less we should want to throw stones at other people. This is nothing short of a call to reimagine Christianity as a faith that fascinates the world with love." -- Shane Claiborne , author and activist, "In Drop the Stones , Carlos Rodriguez has, with candid and culturally relevant language, confronted the practical atheist in every professing Christian. The latent Pharisee in me was exposed more than once as I read the powerful and poignant stories contained within these pages. Thank you, Carlos, for 're-minding' us with the mind of a loving and nonjudgmental Christ." -- Dr. Randall Worley Author, Brush Strokes of Grace and Wandering and Wondering, "Carlos Rodríguez shares powerful stories of transformation we all need to hear. He provides inspiration for what's truly possible when we respond to the Holy Spirit.

This book is filled with wisdom and courage, able to guide us through the rough waters." -- Brady Boyd New Life Church, Colorado Springs Author, Addicted to Busy "I deeply value the message and timing of Drop the Stones . In this book, Carlos Rodríguez brings us back to the simple gospel by reminding us that if we want to see God clearly, we must watch Jesus closely." --Seth Dahl Children's Ministry Director, Bethel Church, Redding, CA, "Carlos Rodrguez writes with grace, and about grace.

McLaren Author, The Great Spiritual Migration, "Carlos Rodríguez writes with grace, and about grace.

We see in Jesus that the closer we are to God, the less we should want to throw stones at other people. This is nothing short of a call to reimagine Christianity as a faith that fascinates the world with love." -- Shane Claiborne , author and activist, "Having been a student of Jesus and Scripture for nearly thirty years, I have come to the conclusion that the more conservative our belief in Scripture--that is, the more deeply we believe that every word of it is true--the more liberal we will be in the way that we love. The more faithfully we walk the narrow path of Jesus, the more broad our embrace of fellow sinners will be. It is not in spite of our faith in Jesus that we love, listen to, and learn from those who do not share our faith, but precisely because of it. In a time when Christianity is often confused with separation, judgment, scorn, and exclusiveness, books like Drop the Stones are a needed correction, not to mention a welcome breath of fresh air. May we listen carefully to Carlos's words. More importantly, may we order our lives around them." -- Scott Sauls Senior pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church, Nashville, TN Author, Jesus Outside the Lines , Befriend , and From Weakness to Strength, "Carlos Rodríguez writes with honesty and urgency as he calls the church to live up to its high calling to embody the love of Jesus. Drawing on his own pastoral experience, and touching on contemporary issues from ISIS to mass incarceration, Drop The Stones invites followers of Jesus to let go of culture war clichés and do the hard things of Jesus-styled love." -- Brian Zahnd Pastor, Word of Life Church, St. Joseph, MO Author, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God and A Farewell to Mars

Synopsis
When a woman caught in the act of adultery was thrown down at Jesus' feet, the bloodthirsty crowd filled their hands with rocks and demanded she be put to death. That confrontation still reverberates in our lives today. Surely we can relate with the shame of the woman and her exposed sin. Unfortunately, we can also relate with the hypocritical crowd, reveling in the rejection of "the other." But can we fully relate with Christ, the God who intervened to save her? For those who've become wary of tired and sometimes even offensive Christian dogmatism, Carlos Rodr guez may be the spark that ignites the flames of faith in the true Jesus. He tells it like it is, with a desire to motivate those who feel ready to engage the world around them, not through political or religious agendas, but through grace and love. Drop the Stones invites followers of Jesus to drop their religious rocks, and, with open hands, engage in the rewarding lifestyle of a Jesus-styled love., When a woman caught in the act of adultery was thrown down at Jesus' feet, the bloodthirsty crowd filled their hands with rocks and demanded she be put to death.
