I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you have me no drink... It's time to STOP STARVING JESUS. In other words, it's time for Christians to get off their comfortable seats near the back of the sanctuary and get out in the world. Authors Craig Gross and J.R. Mahon challenge fellow Christ-followers to stop talking about being spiritual, and start being spiritual by rolling up their sleeves and serving a world desperate for the hope Christ offers. Excerpt from Starving Jesus "This may sound pessimistic, but not a lot seems to be getting done anymore. Not a lot of love or compassion, and rarely do we see the church reaching into the human gutter of sin and pulling people out. Just a lot of sanctimonious speech and self-righteous indignation, all wrapped up in great marketing and advertising. There's a whole lot of talk, but not a whole lot of action." Features and Benefits Strikes a nerve with a growing number of young people who feel church is not relevant and needs a shake up. Provides interesting discussion topics for small groups and youth groups.Gross, Craig is the author of 'Starving Jesus Off the Pew, into the World', published 2007 under ISBN 9780781445481 and ISBN 0781445485.
