"Jesus is the Coolest Guy I Know." Writer Melinda Gonzalez on making Jesus less complicated (and way cooler) than religion made him look

We sit down with Melinda Gonzalez, an author and retired entrepreneur whose heart and purpose feel deeply rooted in faith and service. When her twin son and daughter both went to college, she felt a bigger pull to write the book she believes Jesus always wanted her to write. "Jesus is the Coolest Guy I Know" takes all of her learnings from being a devoted Bible student for decades and draws lessons and memoir from her own twists and turns with life, relationships, fertility, and faith. Her compelling guide convinces us that beyond the rituals, judgment, and perfection, the real Jesus was a masterful storyteller. He was the friend who never flinched at mess nor problems. He was the CEO of Creation. He was the Ladies' Man who brought dignity to women. And he was Heaven's Bouncer. We learn too of the many decisions new writers must make, everything from our title, to chapters, to our point of view, and the book cover.
