The Search for God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield is a biography of both the world famous company and family founded by Arthur Guinness. A study of the Guinness family will show that there are three lines of Guinnesses that have excelled in three vocational areas. The most well-known of the family became brewers and produced the product that contributed more to the health and well-being of the 18th century citizens of Dublin than any invention since. The second line became experts in finance and banking and the third developed into some of the most notable pastors and Christian missionaries that have influenced the modern world. A quote from reviewer Jack Cashill: “At first blush it might seem a wee bit sacrilegious to parallel the history of Christianity with the history of beer, but Stephen Mansfield makes us wonder why no one has done it before.” A great exposition on how faith in God affects every aspect of the believer’s life.
