About the Book:
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 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.
My Review:
It is rare that I read a book, finish it and think “I know a lot of people that could benefit by reading this.” Bo’s Cafe was such a book.
This book is about a man name Steven, a man who many of us can relate to. He is slowly losing his grip on his life, a life many would envy if looking at it from he outside. His marriage is falling apart and his job that leaves him feeling as if his life has no meaning. He is looking for a sign, anything to help him fix the life he leads and get it back on track. His sign arrives in the name of Andy Monroe.
Steven’s first impression of Andy leaves a lot to be desired. He judges him on his hippie look – loud Hawaiin shirt, beat up blue jeans and a baseball cap. What he doesn’t expect is that with Andy’s help he will be led back on the path that he should have never left.
This book is so well written and has such a heartfelt story I just loved it. These three authors know how to weave a story that will reach the hearts of many. Great work!

I am so encouraged by this remarkable comment in your review: “It is rare that I read a book, finish it and think ‘I know a lot of people that could benefit by reading this.’ Bo’s Cafe was such a book.” Wow, that is exactly what we hoped for–that many readers would think of friends and family and colleagues that could benefit from the truths in Bo’s Cafe.
