Cheese Balls for Jesus: Funny, Faith-Filled Stories to Encourage and Inspire

Cheese Balls for Jesus is a hilarious and sometimes serious collection of true stories from the life of Molly Sanborn. Some are silly (how and why she became the Cheese Ball Chick), while others dive deeper into topics of jealousy, anxiety, and depression. But Molly finds humor and God’s faithfulness in the midst of chaos and hard times (like the time she nearly drowned!). Whether you are in middle school or middle aged and beyond, this book will inspire you to pray more and to notice where God is at work. Get ready to encounter a loving (and fun!) God who wants to hear from you and cares about the details of your life! Molly speaks to a wide range of audiences, including teens, women, families, and couples at parent and marriage events along with her husband, Craig. She’s been sharing these stories on stage for years and now has recorded them in this comedic collection for all ages to enjoy. This book is great to read on your own (teens and adults) or for story-time as a family or as a small group or book club. Each chapter ends with Scripture, a prayer, and an “It’s Your Turn” prompt where you have an opportunity to reflect and respond. Whether your journey with Jesus began years ago, more recently, or not yet, this book will meet you right where you’re at and encourage you to take the next step. A perfect gift for your friends and family no matter their age or stage! “Molly Sanborn is a wonderful storyteller! Taking Jesus (but not herself) seriously, she invites the reader into her most embarrassing moments and messy situations. By the end of this engaging book, you will feel you have found a new friend.” — Josh D. McDowell, author “Leave it up to God to use a backpack of cheese balls to draw people to Cheesus—I mean Jesus! Molly masterfully combines comedy and conviction, humor and heartache, wit and wisdom as she intertwines Scripture with her amazing God stories.” — Steve Saint, missionary, author, son of martyr, Nate Saint “Molly Sanborn is an authentic, hilarious, and insightful author.
