Product Description
Product Description
High-powered executive Steven Kerner is living the dream in southern California. But when his bottled pain ignites in anger one night, his wife kicks him out. Then an eccentric mystery man named Andy Monroe befriends Steven and begins unravelling his tightly wound world. Andy leads Steven through a series of frustrating and revealing encounters to repair his life through genuine friendship and the grace and love of a God who has been waiting for him to accept it.
A fictionalised version of a true story of healing, BO'S CAFE offers steps that are profound but simple, moving from awakening to one's inability to control life, to exchanging guarded safety for messy vulnerability, and finally, transforming life from self-focus to the destiny God intended. A story to challenge and encourage, BO'S CAFE is a model for all who struggle with unresolved problems and a performance-based life. Those who desire a fuller, more authentic way of living will find this journey of healing a restorative exploration of God's unbridled grace.

If a book is ever written about me or at least one of my traits then this fitted perfectly. I laughed,cried and then actually understood my way of living in the past. WOW. Gets to you in away not many books have. Interestingly Andy the mysterious stranger comes and goes and main emphasis is on the main character Steve and his awakening and working through his past, present and future hopes. Also how Steve's reality and how it effects others is different from his perspective and those of family, friends and strangers. Just wish there was a Bo's cafe near me.

Powerful! Consuming! I couldnt put this book down. I laughed and cried - sometimes within the same page! What a joy to know that Grace still exists within the 'christian' world. I read it knowing it was fiction but wishing it was real. I think Bo's cafe should be franchised -If it is, put me down for one here in Ireland!!

Steven Kerner and his wife live the good life, but things sometimes get edgy, and one night his anger explodes. His wife, Lindsey, kicks him out, and he retreats to a hotel. Then Andy Monroe extends a hand of friendship, but Steven is not trusting of that friendship, and carries a massive chip on his shoulder.
Lindsey does not accept Steven's apology. She just doesn't feel that he will be able to change on a deep enough level without outside help. Help that Steven is reluctant to seek.
Andy introduces Steven to a group that meets at Bo's Cafe who try to steer Steven to an acceptance of God's grace, and to allow himself to trust. They each have a story to tell in their conversations with each other, much like an Alcoholic's Anonymous group.
Steven does eventually begin to unravel his pent-up feelings, and learn to cope with life without temper blow-ups.
Windblown Media published THE SHACK, which turned into a publishing phenomenon, and this is their follow-up inspirational book, designed to encourage and challenge readers who struggle with problems in their personal life.
It is a message that we can all profit from. It teaches you to give, receive, and to trust, opening yourself up to self-realization, and helping you to experience God's grace.

Bo's Cafe----A book for every household!
I also couldn't put this book down. It took me apart and put me back together again, while holding me safe in God's hands. This is the God I always knew was there.
