    <![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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A really good book. Get ready to have your faith pushed and prodded at. It certainly makes you think and will hopefully get you out of the pews. There were parts of it that I had issue with but overall an inspirational read that goes about religion in a very different way.]]></body>

    <![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[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.]]>
