Book signing at Wheaton Religious Gift and Church Supply on Tuesday, April 5th, 2011!!

Deacon John Green, founder of Emmaus Ministries, will in the store Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 to sign copies of his newly published, "Street Walking with Jesus."  After reading his book, "You will come away challenged and inspired to live a deeper, more mission-based life."  Deacon Green "didn't set out to be another Dorothy Day or Mother Theresa, and would be quick to tell you he hasn't become one.  Struck by the words of Micah 6:8 and the act of a homeless man who gruesomely ended his life in Green's presence, Green vowed to constantly ask himself:  How can I live justly?  To whom do I show mercy?  How may I walk humbly with God?"

Deacon Green is the founder of Emmaus Ministries, a non-profit ministry to male prostitutes in Chicago. Emmaus Ministries’ innovative outreach has been featured in numerous Christian and secular television shows, radio broadcasts, magazines and newspapers. John completed a BA in Christian Education from Wheaton College and an MA in Educational Ministries from Wheaton College graduate school in 1992, and in 1997 he earned a Certificate in Non-Profit Business Administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

He is a frequent speaker on issues relating to male prostitution, urban ministry, evangelization, and peace and justice work. His wife Carolyn is a nationally performing singer/songwriter. The Green’s have three sons and a daughter. They lived in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago directly in back of Emmaus Ministries for 20 years and relocated to northeast Ohio in 2009. John is an ordained Permanent Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church and serves at Holy Family Parish in Stow, Ohio.
