“The word evangelical has been politicized lately but that was never God’s intent,” says Hughes. “A few years ago, I did a study of how many different people in the book of Acts were impacted because of evangelism and I was blown away (I include the results in the book).”
The entire book of Acts is one big evangelical effort of one person, Luke, who took the time to research the history of the early Church, all without use of the internet. And he did it to just to share it with one person. His dedication inspired Hughes to write Act Like an E-Christian. The book reads in a conversational tone similar to writing 28 chapters worth of text messages.
Hughes released details of his soon to be released, second book “a devotional looking at God’s perspective on the racial, cultural, and political differences that divide people. I felt this was appropriate for what is impacting our nation right now.” He is looking forward to having the book released before the end of the year. His goal is to help the readers to look past their differences and see people the way God sees us.
Pastor Hughes is active online and was the perfect author to write a book that intertwines the Bible and social media. He can be found on Instagram and Twitter as “BigPhatPastor,” on TikTok as “BigPhatPastor1,” and on Facebook.
Act Like An E-Christian, by Pastor Floyd Hughes, is an inspirational book that follows the book of Acts in a pattern that reads similar to 28 chapters of text messages.
