New Release Takes a Fresh Approach to the Christian Faith and Rejects the Traditional "Canned" Explanation of God and Jesus

Green Bean Spirituality is released by self-published author Ben MacKinnon

Do you consider yourself Christian but struggle to make God and Jesus relevant to your life? Do you crave a closer relationship to God but feel disconnected with the canned explanations of Christianity?

Author Ben MacKinnon has written an exciting new book called Green Bean Spirituality that takes a fresh approach to describing the Christian faith. MacKinnon uses the analogy of buying fresh green beans from the produce department as opposed to buying green beans in a can. Isn’t the quality of fresh green beans so much better than the contents of a tin can?

MacKinnon states that when something is “canned” it is repeated over and over again until it becomes cliché. When we hear the same clichés again about God and Jesus, we stop listening and the message becomes irrelevant to our own lives. In Green Bean Spirituality, MacKinnon uses witty analysis and metaphor to describe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in real and tangible ways.

In Green Bean Spirituality, MacKinnon breaks down his journey toward a closer relationship with God into five main categories: Sin, God, Jesus, Faith and Grace. Drawing both from his own experiences and actual passages from the Bible, MacKinnon shows how we can have a real and authentic approach to Christian faith that breaks through the current confines of “tin can” spirituality.

Readers who are looking to improve their own faith and gain a deeper understanding of God will not be disappointed with Green Bean Spirituality!

About the Author

Ben MacKinnon is a student at the University of Delaware. He is a secondary math-education major and is working on his Bachelor's of Arts degree. MacKinnon says his "career goal is to be a math teacher, but his life's calling is to show the beauty in mathematics to young people."

Writing and Math are his passions, education is his calling, cycling is his muse, and coffee is his addiction. Ben explains: "Most of the things you will find in my writing were drummed up either on the roads anywhere from Delaware to Pennsylvania or ina diner/coffee-shop in Newark, DE (or Portland, OR)." He then adds, "Which is why I would like to thank my bike for not giving up on me and the employees of all Newark coffee establishments for not kicking me out after many hours there."

MacKinnon wrote a book that shares his important message with the world. He was able to publish Green Bean Spirituality with the help of Dog Ear Publishing.
