Drinking with Jesus author debuts new book

FALLBROOK – Pastor Jim Jones will hold a book release party on Thursday, June 23, 7 p.m., at The Espresso Lounge, 139 S Main Ave.

He will read excerpts and address questions about his book, “Leaving Christianity to Follow Jesus.” Food will be provided by Trupiano's, live musical performances will include The Shift and Dulaney & Co. and there will be open discussions of his new book, providing a casual, welcoming event.

From the mastermind behind the local, somewhat controversial, Drinking With Jesus series, Jones takes his lecture series and breaks new ground in the discussion of Christianity and organized religion. He invites religious leaders, Biblical scholars, religious followers of any faith, and atheists alike to attend this event.
