The average length of Jesus’ conversations as recorded in the Gospels was 42 seconds long. This is good news for all of us. It frees us up to talk about the most important part of our lives in a way that’s natural, meaningful, and helpful instead of clumsy, awkward, and irrelevant.

Anyone who has spent countless uncomfortable hours walking from house to house with a clipboard or flash cards that talk about four spiritual laws understands.

Jesus’ conversations were remarkably simple. Contemporary Christian lingo has set up a dichotomy between what we call “discipleship” and “evangelism”, but the Bible doesn’t do that. Jesus had conversations all the time with those who thought they were close to God, as well as with those who deemed themselves lost and without hope. He invited all of them to come and learn from Him.

42 Seconds is a simple book that uses the ordinary moments of our lives the way Jesus used the same moments in his own. The premise is straightforward: If we can learn from Jesus how to have great conversations, it will change our lives and the lives of those around us.

I was expecting a (long) study about Jesus but what did I get?... 90% of the content is about the author. If the author wanted to talk about him, he should have titled his book "My 42 seconds"... In this book you will learn that: the author is born in the US, has lived in Lebanon, is married, lives in Dubai, has 3 daugthers, gives speeches at conferences, made a couple of miracle prayers, talks about humility but then... brags about his pride... Who cares about those. The author gives a list of passages of the Bible to read (for yourself): isn't that great? The irony of it is that in the 10% of content in which he (finally) addresses Jesus: the author recognizes that Jesus cared about THE OTHERS by asking them questions (and did not talk about HIMSELF), yet the author did the exact opposite in his book. There were so many topics that the author could have covered, yet he missed them all. Disappointing.
