Product Description
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 get out in the world. Authors Craig Gross and JR 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.
You can make a difference.

life changing
This book changed my life!!! It forced me to look at the fact that I am a lazy Christian and its not okay. It is written in a really exciting way and it keeps you interested throughout the whole book.
I noticed someone complained about how the authors didn't seem very loving towards lazy Christians, but the authors were honest about that. And, just because they didn't like their lifestyle doesn't mean they didn't love them! Loving someone means wanting the most Holy thing for them, and being a lazy Christian isn't Holy!
And about the fasting, yeah they did not give very good advice on that. A 40 day fast is the longest fast in the Bible, and its probably a very bad idea to do one for your first fast. So, if you were inspired to fast by this book (which I was) do some more research.
I recommend this book to absolutely EVERYONE, because it is truly, truly life changing.
There is so much more to being a Christian than sitting inside of four walls...
Starving Jesus: Off The Pew, Into the World is a dynamic look at modern churches. Craig Gross, and J. R. Mahon encourage, in fact demand that Americans get off their pew and submit their lives to Jesus.
I agree with a lot of what the author's say. However, they are lumping church goers in one pile. We are not all lazy. I can name many dear Christians that have touched my life. I can name many people that have stepped out of their pew and are living their lives for Jesus and they are church goers.
My other concern is the call for a 40 day fast. I think their challenge to fast for 40 days is dangerous. Before beginning such a monumental feat a person should consult their doctor. I think the author's missed the mark in Starving Jesus: Off The Pew, Into the World.
However, this book is right on the mark in the sense that Christians must take the Good News to the World. I am reminded of one of my favorite songs.
Go Into The World. Part of the lyrics are:
How will they hear that there's a God who loves them?
How can the blind regain their sight?
How can the lost find hope unless we tell them
We are to be as salt and light
Look to the fields, you'll see the harvest ready
Servants of God, we must obey
All of the world will know the Father loves them
If we will only point the way (Words and Music by Walt Harrah© 1987 White Wheat Music)
This is the message the author attempted to convey.
straight foward and in your face
this is very blunt and in your face type of book. It was a excellant book, and they authors do not leave out their own struggles and sin. They will let you know how it is.
This book will help you realize the need to share your faith with out being preachy.
I would recommend Share jesus without fear also.
It is by William Fay.
