I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you have me no drink...

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 BenefitsStrikes 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. (show less)

Quote-leftA few sections felt a little more like rants than insights. This book continues a tren of emerging leaders who really just put there blogs in book format. With all that said it is a decent thinker of the state of the church, and for a refreshing change they actually offer some practical advise on how to change thingsQuote-right
