Does evangelism and witnessing make you uncomfortable? If so, you're about to be set free ... or maybe you'll become even more uncomfortable.

Using irony, satire, and humor, Jeremy Myers writes Adventures in Fishing for Men as an allegorical story about a man's quest to become a world-famous fisherman--without ever catching any fish.

As an allegory about evangelism, this book is not about fishing, but about fishing for men.

While a few of the stories are from the author's own life, all of the stories portray the general Christian approach to evangelism. As you read Adventures in Fishing for Men, you will see yourself in many of the stories, and will either be set free from some of the strange methods of modern evangelistic practices, or you will become upset at how your cherished traditions are being portrayed. But these were the two ways people responded to the parables of Jesus as well.

The nameless fisherman of this book serves as a mirror to all who read of his adventures, shining a light on how far Christianity has strayed from the example set by Jesus.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Industry Reviews

We're told in the Bible that Jesus never taught without a parable. There was a reason for that. Parables are powerful because they hold up a mirror and force us to see ourselves. I don't know many people who teach in parables today, but that's exactly what Jeremy Myers does in Adventures in Fishing for Men. He teaches with a parable that will challenge you to change your thinking, get out of your box, and actually become the "fisher of men" that Jesus has called you to become.

Jeremy Myers' Adventures in Fishing for Men had me laughing so hard, I honestly forgot I was being taught. However, don't let the sheer entertainment value fool you. There's actually a profound message inside, and one today's church desperately needs to hear. We need to quit over-complicating the Great Commission and just go fishin'.

Absurd, hilarious, and insightful! Jeremy Myers has crafted a fascinating tale with his incisive wit and boundless passion to point people toward greater fullness. You'll never view "fishing for men" the same way again, nor much else in your life either.

Adventures in Fishing for Men is a funny, clever, and insightful description of how religion makes people relationally incompetent and spiritually superficial. It disarmed me with its humor while shining light on my self-righteous smugness. I highly recommend to anyone as an entertaining and meaningful read.

Relentlessly funny and consistently brilliant, this book from Jeremy Myers is unlike anything else he's written before, but I'd certainly welcome more just like it. The extended allegory is hilarious and profoundly true all at the same time. Highly recommended.
