the book
Starving Jesus, 40 Days of Nothing
"Where is the love?"
"Why are we stuck in the pews?"
"Why is Sunday the only time we see Christians?"
"Are you Born Again lazy? "
"Are you doing everything short of sin to show people Jesus?"
On rare occasions there are those willing to commit a form of spiritual suicide in the Christian subculture. Men and women who will yell from the rooftops, "Church sucks!" Although they are heard, their voices are quickly dismissed and rarely see the light of day. They are labeled fanatics and troublemakers and are asked not to come back. Christ yelled the same type of thing once. It got him killed. This conversation is on the tips of all sorts of tongues: your fellow churchgoers, your neighbors, your spouse, your kids your friends. And the most important part of this conversation is what you will say. Welcome to the conversation.
Are you Starving Jesus?
Craig Gross and JR Mahon are on a mission to inspire the people to get out of the pews. Too often Christians spend their time praying, talking, and being spiritual but not getting their hands dirty. The book of James says, Faith without works is dead. There are too many meetings, too much political posturing, too much condemnation, and too much inaction. Starving Jesus will challenge you to less talking and more doing. Craig Gross and JR Mahon run the day-to-day operations of XXXchurch.com and both live in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

the tour
40 Days of Nothing Tour
On August 5, 2006, Craig and J.R. jump into an RV and head out on a 40-day, 40-city tour across the United States. The tour begins in Northern California and concludes 40 days later in New York City on September 13th. The tour is designed to help church communities effect change in their regions and cities and be a creative link for Christians to be inspired to act out their faith.
Get out of the pews and into peoples lives, says J.R.
Craig continues, We have a responsibility when it comes to our communities, we must get up and out... serve in the name of Christ.
J.R. and Craig will stop at one church a day challenging, inspiring and helping people out of the pews and into the community. Every stop on the tour will be different but in every city, they will give people tangible ways to begin to do something in their community.
The tour will ask people to do three things: GIVE. FAST. PRAY
Whether someone fasts for one day and one city of the tour, or the whole 40 days, it will be great to see someone turn nothing into something, says Craig Gross
The best part is that you are invited to join this movement. If you live around a city that the tour will be in, please hit up the link on the website to get times and directions for what will be happening in your city. Even if you cannot make it out, you can click on the link and find out other ways to get involved.
the film
Starving Jesus, the Movie
A two-man documentary film crew will be traveling with Craig and J.R. capturing the entire 40-day tour on video. "We have no idea what to expect and what exactly the movie will look like, but were pretty sure it will be nuts," says J.R. From daily interviews with Craig and J.R. to opposition on the road, to the media surrounding the tour, to Christians deciding to do something, it will all be there. The film project will be submitted to film festivals across the world and presented to television networks for broadcast with the hope that the film will become a tool to help people get inspired to live their lives for Christ.
The movie is FREE to anyone ordering the book online before September 13, 2006.
