About this title: This thought-provoking book takes a modern look at Christianity as seen through the eyes of two para-church leaders. Gross and Mahon push the proverbial envelop, jarring their fellow Christ-followers free from their complacency and spiritual anorexia to start serving a world desperate for the hope Christ offers.

"More than anything, this book bugged me at times. It wasn't nearly as "get out and get dirty loving people and serving them for Jesus" like Claiborne, Yankowski, etc. Instead, they talked a lot about confronting sin, which got a lot of talk but not a lot of discussion of the perspective they both come from (they seem to both be pretty conservative evangelicals). They talk a lot about personal faith, personal relationship, and not being lazy in the faith, all of which are valuable things but need to be pulled out of these small, angry contexts for these two guys. The books narrative fails in large part to teach, as it actually is set-up as a dialogue between the two authors, and one of them spends much of the first several chapters talking about himself over and over.
From both a personal and a ministry standpoint, this book is better off in the recycle bin."
"Strong, solid "Christians need to get off their asses and change the world" talk from two guys who are dedicated enough to the concept that they launched their own ministry reaching out to save pornographers. Gross and Mahon trade off in dialogue -- Mahon in particular gets personal in discussing his "Born Again Lazy" tendencies and how he finally shook them off.
One thing I found interesting/frustrating is that while it seemed like the 40-day cross-country "Starving Jesus" fast and motivational speaking tour was a big driving force behind this book, it actually doesn't even into play until close to the end. It feels like that has a lot to do with how personally turbulent the tour ended up being for them, but the stories they do choose to share are compelling and make you want to hear more.
I'm not 100% with these guys, but their sincere desire to make the world a better place comes through loud and clear."
"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."
"Outstanding book. Get ready to be challenged. Expect to be reminded that "he who looses life, shall find it". The authors are completely transparent, open and honest. Highly recommended"
