The 30-Day Sobriety Solution offers a program to help individuals cut back or quit drinking entirely, allowing them to do so on their own and in the privacy of their own home. Existing resources have often failed to assist most alcoholics, with only a small percentage receiving treatment. The book presents a fresh approach to addressing alcohol abuse, integrating techniques from positive psychology, neurolinguistic programming, cognitive therapy, meditation, positive self-talk, and the correction of negative self-perceptions. Central to the program are the concepts of a no alcohol '30-Day Reboot' and an optional non-abstinence track after the initial 30 days, enabling individuals to achieve sobriety in just a few minutes a day.

The book offers a deeply personal exploration of Dave Andrews's journey toward a life of love and justice, shared with his wife, Angie, within marginalized communities. It is divided into three parts: the personal, detailing their radical spirituality; the prophetical, examining his unconventional call to prophecy through various roles; and the paradoxical, where he reflects on the complexities of being a minor prophet, balancing confrontation with compassionate pastoral care. The narrative is both humorous and poignant, capturing the essence of his experiences.

We are caught up in the cycle of so-called “holy wars.” In The Jihad Of Jesus, Dave Andrews argues that while this inter-communal conflict is endemic, it is not inevitable. Depending on our understanding, our religions can be either a source of escalating conflict or a resource for overcoming inter-communal conflict; and for our religions to be a resource for overcoming conflict, we need to understand the heart of all true religion as open-hearted compassionate spirituality. In the light of an open-hearted compassionate spirituality, we can reclaim the word “jihad” from extremists who have (mis)appropriated it as call to “holy war,” and reframe it, in truly Qur'anic terms, as a “sacred nonviolent struggle for justice”; and we can reconsider Jesus, as he is in the Gospels, not as a poster boy for Christians fighting crusades against Muslims, but as “a strong-but-gentle Messianic figure” who can bring Christians and Muslims together. As this book shows, many Christians and Muslims have found Isa (Jesus) and the Bismillah (celebrating the mercy, grace, and compassion of God) as common ground upon which they can stand and work for the common good. The Jihad of Jesus is a handbook for reconciliation and action: a do-it-yourself guide for all Christians and Muslims who want to move beyond the “clash of civilizations,” join the jihad of Jesus, and struggle for justice and peace nonviolently side by side.

Jsme uvězněni v kruhu takzvaných „svatých válek“. Dave Andrews ovšem ve své knize tvrdí, že je možné se této endemické srážce odlišných společností vyhnout. Náboženství má potenciál stát se prostředkem překonání stupňujícího se konfliktu, pochopíme-li jediné: Jádrem každého skutečného náboženství je otevřená a soucitná spiritualita. V jejím duchu si pak můžeme znovu činit nárok na slovo „džihád“: odebrat ho extremistům, kteří si ho přivlastnili a zároveň se mu zpronevěřili, a vtisknout mu (podle skutečně koránských termínů) nový význam – posvátného nenásilného boje za spravedlnost. Začněme přemýšlet o Ježíšovi jako o silné a současně jemné mesiášské postavě, která může křesťany a muslimy spojovat. Ježíšův džihád je kniha o usmíření a jednání, návod pro všechny křesťany a muslimy, kteří se chtějí přidat k Ježíšově džihádu – bok po boku nenásilně bojovat za spravedlnost a mír.
