    <![CDATA[I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you have me no drink...<br/><br/>It's time to STOP STARVING JESUS.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/><strong>Excerpt from <em>Starving Jesus</em></strong>:<br/>&quot;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.&quot;<br/><br/><strong>Features and Benefits</strong>:<br/>* Strikes a nerve with a growing number of young people who feel church is not relevant and needs a shake up.<br/>* Provides interesting discussion topics for small groups and youth groups.]]>

    <![CDATA[Why did an all-knowing, all-powerful God send the perfection of His kingdom&#151;His only Son&#151;to the earth through the gutter? Why did Jesus spend so much time, reaching out to people in their own secret, dark places? Why do His followers so often turn away from those very same situations? <em>The Gutter</em> chronicles the author's journey to the gutter, telling the stories and sharing the insights he gained while spending time with the people who dwell there.  <br/><br/><em>The Gutter</em> serves as a manifesto for all different types of people in the Church: those who yearn to impact the culture around them, those who have reassessed their discovery of Christ and want to make their story known, and those who are seeking out new, fresh ways of exhibiting Christ's love to the poor in spirit.]]>

    <![CDATA[The constant noise of contemporary life makes it easy to miss the most profound message the world has ever known: Jesus loves you. Innovative teachers Craig Gross and Jason Harper will separate the religious from the real as they show how this simple truth is worth our undivided attention. The authors weave Jesus' narrative with their own stories of serving among the &quot;least of these&quot; in this inspiring summons to world-changing faith. Join them as they encounter shut-ins, drunks, inmates, porn stars, and others while striving to follow Christ in their daily lives. Christian and non-Christian readers alike will experience God's love and be challenged to take seriously the call   of Jesus.    Individuals, small groups, congregations, and church classes will find the companion DVD an indispensable resource for learning about the world-changing love of Jesus through captivating stories and interviews. In these four films, viewers will meet face-to-face with some of the folks they encounter in the book Jesus Loves You . . . This I Know. Each film is three to five minutes long and is followed by questions for groups that wish to use the films as discussion starters. Also ideal for use in sermons.]]>
