Coffee with Jesus is a collection of reflections, studies, and revelations born from Adele Carew’s time in Scripture. The heart of the book is simple: to help readers slow down, listen, and notice how God speaks through His Word and ordinary moments. Carew writes with warmth and honesty, sharing lessons drawn from coffee shops, family life, work, loss, prayer, and unexpected encounters. Her style is conversational, but her reverence for Jesus remains clear.
Faith for everyday life
The strength of this book lies in its accessibility. Each entry is brief enough for a morning devotion, yet thoughtful enough to return to later. Carew often begins with a familiar experience and connects it to a Biblical truth, encouraging readers to examine their walk with God. The reflections cover faith, obedience, discernment, perseverance, prayer, grief, hope, and the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. Space for reflection invites readers to pause and consider what the Lord may be showing them.
A book with purpose
This is not a formal theological study, but a personal devotional companion written from a life of seeking God. Readers who enjoy practical, Scripture-based encouragement will find much to appreciate. The book also carries a wider purpose, as all net proceeds support ministry among the Mwinika people of Northern Mozambique. The cover artwork by Leigh Telli of Messiah Art adds meaning to a book centred on intimacy with Christ.
