Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2008

"So would you like one salvation or two?" I froze and looked around at all the chatting women to see if my evangelistic guffaw had been noticed. Fortunately Janine replied, "No thank you, I'm on a diet." Meet Amber Glass, a sweet but slightly erratic Christian working mum, who decides to keep a diary to organise her thoughts and give her some semblance of sanity. One day God challenges her to step up and share the hope she has with her friends, and Amber has never been more embarrassed in her life. Amber's feelings of inadequacy are overcome by her love for her Saviour, and she decides to give it her best shot.with one eye closed. Tackling her task amongst a practical joking husband, two precocious children, a dragon lady boss, a dog with a passion for vacuum cleaners, her own obsession with chocolate and two painfully honest friends, Amber experiences mistakes and monumental mayhem while on the providential prowl. Will Amber fulfill her new found passion and successfully lead her friends to salvation? Or will she just eat another Tim Tam and go shopping?

5.0 out of 5 stars hilariously funny, February 17, 2010

This review is from: The Embarrassed Evangelist (Paperback)

Oh I was snickering through this whole book. It was pretty funny-- more than pretty funny. It was hilariously funny. This work of fiction contained a lot of realness in it and I could relate to the embarrassed evangelist a lot. She puts herself out there -- yet doesn't know where to begin or start so she prays and fumbles her way through it, often the way I feel when I'm trying to ... wanting to let others know about Jesus.

Rouxel touches on life for all it's craziness and brutality and made me laugh over and over again. I almost wondered if this really was a work of fiction because I sure could relate a lot of this woman! If you're looking for a really good laugh through honesty and God-seeking. Rouxel covers a lot of topics that are touchy and yet she sheds some good light on them that I think are the way God calls us to deal with them -- embracing Jesus and holding on for dear life!
