The history of Guinness, one of the world's most famous brands, reveals the noble heights and crushing descents of a great family and an innovative business.

It began in Ireland in the late 1700's. The water in Ireland, indeed throughout Europe, was famously undrinkable, and the gin and whiskey that took its place was devastating civil society. It was a disease ridden, starvation plagued, alcoholic age, and Christians like Arthur Guinness-as well as monks and even evangelical churches-brewed beer to offer a healthier alternative to the poisonous waters and liquors of the times. This is where the Guinness tale began. Now, 246 years and 150 countries later, Guinness is a global brand, one of the most consumed beverages in the world. The tale that unfolds during those two and a half centuries has power to thrill audiences today: the generational drama, business adventure, industrial and social reforms, deep-felt faith, and the beer itself.

Reviews - What do customers think about Quest For God And Guinness?

	An interesting combo! Feb 15, 2010
I was intrigued by the title of this book. It's not often that you see God and Beer together like that, let alone from a Christian publisher like Thomas Nelson. I was also interested in it just from the historical angle. Whether you drink beer or not, I think that you'll find this book very interesting. It covers the history of beer, as well as the history of the Guiness family. It's a timely look at a corporate model for how to treat employees and customers alike. Bottom line is that I found this book to be very interesting on a lot of levels. I'm not sure that I agree with the idea that beer is a gift from God, but it's still an interesting read. Whether you're a Christian or not, or whether you're a beer drinker or not, you'll still find this book interesting. I received a copy of this book for free from Thomas Nelson publishers as a member of their book review bloggers group.

	Excellent descriptive work, thought-provoking comments on theology Dec 10, 2006
Dr. Sanders' Saints in Exile is brilliant as a descriptive work and reminds me a great deal of The Many Paths of the Independent Sacramental Movement, which describes the movement I'm a part of. She does the difficult job of commenting critically and productively from within the movement itself. But the book is more than just a descriptive work -- the chapters "Black Intellectuals and Storefront Religion" and "The Church in Exile," as well as the conclusion, have many thoughts toward a constructive ecclesiology for reconciling churches in the United States. Those chapters rely on many insights from the previous chapters, making the whole book a must-read for all theologians concerned with race in the American church, not simply those interested in cultural features of the Holiness churches.
