Small Is the New Big
In this humorous, insistent book, Pastor Ed Gungor demonstrates that the world is changed most by ordinary people—the "small dogs" of the human race. Small dogs may not  runthe world, but neither can the world tune them out. If it weren’t for small dogs, the world might be a quieter place, but it would certainly be a needier one.
With chapters like "Dare to Be Small," "Fight the Big-Dog Lie," and "The Bark of Faith," Gungor challenges the notion that earthly prominence, status, and power are essential to significance. Reminding us that small is the new big, he inspires us to fall in love with life—the everyday, normal kind—and shows us how to make an eternal difference.
Living a Life That’s Hard to Ignore
The thing about small, barking dogs is that they can’t be ignored. They may not be show-dog material or win outstanding awards, but through their persistence and insistence they make themselves known.
Only a handful of people ever achieve notoriety and "greatness," but the energizing truth of One Small Barking Dog is that every single one of us can change the world. New York Times bestselling author Ed Gungor debunks the big-dog lie and clearly teaches "ordinary" people how to live out their faith in a way that not only changes the world we live in now but that affects lives for eternity.
By the time you finish this book, you won’t be worried about being small. You’ll be ready to take on the world. You’ll know how to live a life that can’t be ignored.
Whether you’ve just graduated from school or you’ve been at this life for many years, Ed Gungor’s concrete principles and simple life wisdom will show you new ways to make a big impact on your world.

The reason I wrote this book is because I didn't want to ignore the fact that some things about Christianity are just plain messy. In recent years there have been lots of atheistic books that attack the Christian faith. I think some of their attacks need a response from the Christian community-but one that is both fresh and humble. In "What Bothers Me Most About Christianity" I try to do that. In this writing I explore the most difficult aspects of the Christian faith, including...
Why doesn't God just show Himself?
Why does a loving God allow evil in His world?
If the Christian faith is so good, why are some Christians so bad?
Why was God so harsh during Old Testament times?
Why is the Christian faith so exclusive?
I honestly believe that having faith does not demand intellectual suicide. There are reasonable responses to these difficult questions. This book will equip you to better represent your faith to everyone around you.
Here's what a couple of Christian leaders have said after reading my book:
 "When I first heard the title, What Bothers Me Most About Christianity, I was a bit leery, because quite frankly, I am most grateful to be a Christian! But I was delighted to discover that Ed Gungor upholds Christianity while honestly addressing many of the misconceptions about the Christian faith. In a way that speaks to our post-modern culture, Ed Gungor takes these misconceptions, one by one, and systematically addresses them from a Christian perspective."
-- Jerry Newcombe, D. Min. - TV Producer / Author
"I love this book! It's a lot easier to give pat answers to questions people aren't asking than to wrestle honestly with the questions they are asking. Thank you, Ed, for wrestling with honest questions. I highly recommend it for people who wrestle and think!"
-- Bob Roberts, Author, Glocalization: How Followers of Jesus Engage a Flat World
It would be so helpful, and I would be so honored, if you would be willing to go to any one of our local bookstores to pick up a copy of "What Bothers Me Most About Christianity." The publishers are watching to see who will respond to this book and if you snag a copy, it would send a great message to them.
If you get one, please let me know what you think after you have had a chance to jump in and read it!
Thank you so much!
Pastor Ed Gungor
