The constant noise of contemporary life makes it easy to miss the most profound message the world has ever known: Jesus loves you. Innovative teachers Craig Gross and Jason Harper will separate the religious from the real as they show how this simple truth is worth our undivided attention. The authors weave Jesus' narrative with their own stories of serving among the "least of these" in this inspiring summons to world-changing faith. Join them as they encounter shut-ins, drunks, inmates, porn stars, and others while striving to follow Christ in their daily lives.

Wow... huge zip file e-mailed to me with the extras. Anyway I can get the goods without the massive wait time to download???
Can't wait for the book to arrive though.
nothing we can do, it is a lot of stuff.
Already enjoying the audio books, and can't wait for Jesus Loves Me. But, my computer won't let me extract the files for Starving Jesus without a password. Maybe my computer is just screwed up
Thanks for making this stuff available for us. I enjoyed Starving Jesus and I'm looking forward to this book. Thanks for your hearts for Jesus.
Hope this is as Kickass as it looks!

False teachers who sell the Sacrifice of Beloved Savior Christ Jesus to market this trash to pad their filthy pockets are still in the business of prostitution. God is observing you blaspheme the name of His Son for your own personal financial gain. This is a temple of self-worship where you promote yourselves as people can teach others something you do not know yourselves. I warn you, the spiritual punishment for this activity is something you will not begin to comprehend until it is too late. It's too late now. You have just been deployed to Hell.
Take this piece of self-promoting trash off of the internet. God's eyes are everywhere, and you are being observed by Higher Spiritual Intelligence, but in your arrogance, you do not believe the teachings of the God you blaspheme to fill your bank accounts with money. Whores may have a chance for redemption, but only by sincere repentance, which requires obedience and Truth, something they can never learn from a false teacher. False teachers burn in hell. I ask you, was your paltry 15 minutes on your self-created stage of Satanic self-worship was worth the price of your soul?
"Buy now, pay later," is Satan's favorite phrase. What you bought was a moment in Satanic false limelight as a false spiritual teacher. How you'll pay later is with the soul you sold for the 17.95 price of this trash that those who wish to be as deceived as you are place in your bank accounts.
Thank you Radiator! Your love for the truth doesn't offend me but the way you talk/write reminds me of someone with much to hide. Keep the venom fresh!
Vegas
Vegas,
Do you feel personally insulted by these words? You do not exist as someone who can discern fiction from Truth. The Light of God in His sacred teachings is the Light of Consciousness. Darkness is unconsciouness, or as Carl Jung, the philosopher, called the shadow. Ignorance does not know it is ignorant, and those who agressively defend their right to remain in darkness are what God refers to as "evil." Truth feels like medicine, which is sometimes seen as bitter to the ignorant, but like any strong, effective medicine, it heals after the bitterness has passed.
In His Light,
Kelly McKean

Just ordered the book and I'm super excited. The seller for me was the audio books it came with. I've been wanting to read Starving Jesus for a long time, and I was so happy to find out that it came with it. Anyways, I gotta say I'm disappointed because the Starving Jesus file is password protected, so I wasn't able to extract it so I could download it. Is there a way I could either get the password or a way to download it??
how can i get the extras if I bought the book in the store before the promotion???
Hi,
I bought the book on Amazon and signed up for the free offers but didnt get any downloads yet. I entered my Amazon order number.
What should I do?
Should I enter it all again?
Do you people see what this is? The last three customers did not get what they were promised for wasting their hard earned money on this false teaching. What kind of cheating charlatans use the Sacred Name of Jesus Christ to sell a false teaching and offer a big huge free trip to Hell if you fall for their scam? STAY AWAY FROM THESE SATANIC SALESMEN, all the have to offer you is empty wallets in exchange for leading you as deep into self-deception as they are. Don't let these false teachers' lullalby of pretty words and rampant emotionality take you away from your own inner guidance, and remember, hold on to your cash,, because that is what they want from you.

Thanks guys for your commitment to reaching those people that I am still asking for the courage to reach. I read Starving Jesus and was amazed at your willingness to admit when you're wrong, and the lesson you took from those situations. These days, our churches are filled with excuses for why we mess up, but we never take the time to learn. Jesus loves each of us, and as I have seen by recent posts, we tend to judge when it is not our place. I struggled with the same addictions that your ministry is based around, but by God's grace and love, I have been set free. I resented those who pushed me down, saying I was going to hell for the things I was doing, it may have been true; but I know we have to meet people where they are, not beat them for being there. Only when someone truly showed me the love of Christ could I be set free. Love you guys, and thanks again for your ministry. God Bless!
It is not possible to save the soul of another when you, yourself have not been saved. A paid certificate that states you have read the Bible does not certify that you live its meaning. Those who think they know God well enough to speak on his behalf had better be prepared for the Light of spiritual scrutiny, because Higher Spiritual Intelligence sees through such false teachers, and knows the torment they will endure for disobeying the Word of God they purport to teach to others. Do not be deceived by false prophets who blaspheme God's Name to pad their egos and their personal bank accounts with your money.

Well, well, well...guess what? I got my book - as promised - so if these guys are scammers, they must have some super-duper plan to get me as I got what I paid for...and then some. I like it! I know someone here thinks these dudes are devils and all, but I get it.

Kevin,
Do you see that you feel you must defend someone here? Truth does not require defense. Only lies require defense. There is something within you that is not quite convinced about what you have purchased.
Trust Truth, not fear. Anger and agression conceal your fear of being deceived, however, if you want to follow false teachers, you'll go exactly where they go, to Hell.

Satan deceives with hypnotic lies, pretty words that create an illusion of false comfort. God radiates spiritual sunshine.
Light does not care upon whom it shines, it just shines.
Truth is not negative. The one who reacts when Truth speaks is negative.
Satan tries to mix Truth with deceit, which can not be done. Anyone who promotes themselves as these two charlatans have, using sales propaganda to hype their false products and glorify their own names, are evil personified. Yes, these false teachers are exactly that, human devils in sheep's clothing. Do not believe one word these liars say.

My little note to "the Radiant One." I checked out your Google page like I know you want everyone to do. Although I have agreed with nothing I have seen you write, considering I don't think you have even read the book they are selling; by the way, your page is littered with advertising for your own cd and book, which leaves no room for you to talk of another selling something. I just want you to know that the book is all about how the love of Christ can cross barriers, and through that love, we can effectively minister to others. If you are against people ministering to homosexuals, thieves, the broken, etc. You must not have taken the time to read the Gospels, maybe Vernon didn't cover that section. If those of us who have bought and read the book have been deceived, that's for us to decide, not for you to condemn. You're like a broken record, but I love you anyway, and guess what... Jesus does too! If the Truth does not have to be defended, then why have you been so defensive?
Dear person who did not leave your name,
My facts are based upon personal experience and knowledge about these two false teachers and the false organization from which they generate their business.
My spiritual admonition is, indeed, judgment, not defense, as you falsely stated.
You may attempt to argue with God all you want, however, I assure you, it is to your own detriment.
Clearly deceived, you mistakenly believe you know what love is. You wrongly believe you have the ability to "minister" this counterfeit "love" to others.
Phony affections and swelling emotions are not love.
Weakness is not love.
Tolerance of weakness is not love.
Tolerance of weakness is evil.
Quoting scripture in attempt to teach another something you do not know makes you a false teacher.
If you know God's Word, then you know the punishment for such blasphemers is to burn in the lake of fire.
False teachers do not know Christ. They use the name "Jesus," for marketing purposes, which is also blasphemy, as is your use of Mr. Vernon Howard's first name, who gave His life for God, just as Christ did. I knew him personally, and He asked the same of me.
Jesus was the Son of Man, a man who died to his lower nature and was transformed by God and given the sacred name, Jesus the Christ.
Christ was and is The One Living God.
Only one enlightened by God, as Christ was enlightened, and as Vernon Howard was enlightened, is permitted by God to teach the Truth from which they live. God's True Teachers are impeccable, totally without sin, capable of bearing any scrutiny and attack from Satan with no problem whatsoever, because, you see, Truth is not threatened by Satan, but Satan is terrified of Truth.
What this website is sellingis not a Truth Teaching, it is a packaged amalgamation of Satanic Lies, falsely taught by two human demons. It comes with a cash price tag, and a spiritual one. Those who follow these false teachers, Satan, go where they go, to Hell.
However, you arrogantly, in all of your great ignorance, don't believe that, because you do not have have the spiritual vision necessary to see this Truth.
Keep my name and phone number. When your suffering becomes unbearable, and it will, you might then be willing to listen to something higher than your need to defend lies.
Until then, you want your life, so you've got it. How is that working out for you?

The Radiant One is God.
My life is working pretty well. It's an amazing thing to be in the center of God's Will. I think you are trying to do the right thing, but your judgment is clouded by the teachings of an imperfect human who placed himself as something more, when you should really be focusing on the perfect Christ. If Vernon was perfect, then that goes against scripture. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23. All means....all, everyone. True Teachers have flaws too, considering Christ called His disciples to go out and teach, yet they were also the ones who messed up. I don't need your address or phone number because I don't need a response from you, the only one that can tell me right from wrong is God. On your page, you speak of Buddha and other non-Christian religious figures. Why would I want answers from someone who combines the teachings of non-Christians with the teachings of Christ? Although I have yet to see an accurate mention of Christ's teachings in your rant. As always, Love you, and so does Jesus :)
You have not posted your name. Is there a reason?

And another thing,
If Jesus were aluve today, he wouldn't be a Christian. He would be outraged by how you phony, deluded psuedo-fundamentalist, false evangalist Satan worshippers blaspheme the Sacred Teaching He Sacrificed His Life to offer you.
Shame on you.
Feel free to quote me, anytime, but make sure you give me proper credit, instead of stealing my hard-won knowledge for self-promotion, like you do my Beloved Savior's.

Wow. I have got to say that this- dare I say- INCREDIBLY STUPID conversation has to end. Yeah, I said it. And not because I don't think any person has a right to an opinion. But what your speaking, oh Radiant One, is coming straight from the devil. Do you hear what your saying? If you've read the book, then you clearly didn't really READ the book. Like, actually understand what was being said.
It's absolutely true that if this book is blasphemy, then that's for us, the readers, to decide. Not you, or anyone else who has a thing or two to say. And another thing, I don't really what to hear what you have to say. I just finished this book, and it's inspiring and filled with the truth that Jesus loves EVERYONE. Even you, despite how deceived you really are.
I too have read your blog, and I've decided that your very similar to the "Pastor Bible" type in The Gutter. And another thing, why are you so radiant?
dearest radiant one ~
what other web sites do you contribute to and why do you feel it so necessary to contribute so frequently to this one?
(sorry everyone else for encouraging the above seen behavior, just curious)
Jennie,
In current English usage, a contraction is the shortening of a word, syllable, or word group by omission of internal letters. In traditional English grammar, a contraction denotes the formation of a new word from one word or a group of words, for example, the words "you are," when contracted, form the new word, "you're," not "your," as you incorrectly used. What you wrote, "your," refers to possession, as in ownership. And you are indeed possessed, by supreme ignorance.
Too ignorant to see the obvious, that I have read the lies marketed here, which does, indeed, make me a "reader,"and therefore, according to your great power and authority, I have been thereby granted permission by you to decide it is blasphemy, which I have decided to excercise by perfect right to do.
Your mockery of The Radiant One is duly noted, however, The Radiant One is not me, Kelly McKean, but God. God has, in all of His Perfect Authority, granted me permission to speak as His representative, therefore, it is not me you have mocked, unfortunately for you, it is He.
Your childish use of the term,"like," reveals your pathetic gullibility, which renders you perfect prey for deceivers like the plagiarist authors of this stupid, idiotic peice of self-promoting Satan Whoreshipping trash, who have theived God's Perect Son's teaching and interlaced it with their "own personal stories," thus making a mockery of what Christ taught, which is referred to by Jesus Christ as "blasphemy."
The Sacred Scriptures are not to be interlaced with personal stories and falsely interpreted by thieves who claim to understand its meaning, then market the trash they have wrongly used for self-promotion, fame, money, etc. YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU SATAN. Truth cannot be bought or sold.
So tell me, Jennie, how well you, "like, actually understand" what I just said.
And another thing, ( I noticed this mockery, too, dear) please observe your profound understanding of unconditional love, since you see yourself as one who can teach me what Christianity is all about, as your insanely arrogant ego reacts to these words of Truth.
You depraved false evangalist profits can never get enough stage time, and like your predecessors, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Jerry Falwell and Jimmy Swaggart, each Wanna-Be Masters of Churchianity Profiteering, like His Satanic Majesty, Mr."open your wallets, and give me the contents," Master of Blasphemy himself, SATAN, World Hypnotist of Satanic Evangalist Satan Worship, you will follow him straight into Hell.
Remember me fondly,
I stand tall in the Bright, Radiant, Glorious, Perfect, Spiritual Sunshine of His High, Sweet, Divine Masterful Voice of Truth,

You know, ross, that is an excellent question. It reveals insight. What I did, see, was follow an instruction from God. He told me to tell someone like you what this website is doing with the Word of God. What I have discovered is that there is no intelligent life here.

Hey Radiant One...
Why don't you challenge the authors to a debate on the Scriptural integrity of their book and they can, likewise challenge you on the Scriptural basis of your theology. (Although you haven't quoted any Scripture in any of your previous rants.) You can take care of proving everyone wrong AND get your message out with one strategic action in a public forum. Go for it...see what they say.

what is the mark of true intelligence?
Yea, and some people don't quote scripture because it goes against what they preach. It's okay Radiant One, thought I'd finish that sentence for you. Christ himself quoted scripture during his temptation, so if others quote scripture, true Biblical scripture, why is that such a crime? Also, do you really think that mocking others for spelling something wrong is helping your cause? Especially since you misspelled several words in your own writing. Honestly, I think that you should apologize to Jennie, or is that below you because God told you to mock someone else. Don't forget that those very people who hung Christ mocked him and his disciples. I guess you'd have to be his one and only messenger to our ignorant crowd, considering everyone else on this page and the majority of Christianity, if that is even the religion you promote, are contrary to your view.
Ross,
One mark of true intelligence is sincerity, like the sincerity in your question.
Sincerity is cultivated by surrender of our pretense of knowing who we are, or how to live. God said,"Be ye like little children."
God doesn't allow experts into heaven.
Only when I was made fully aware of how much pain I was in attempting to " be someone," God began to remove the false identity I thought was who I was. We human beings have layers and layers of ego that keep us separated from knowing God.
The danger of purporting to be a spiritual teacher is this:
If you already know everything, you can not learn. A true teacher is always a student of the inner self, watching what is going on internally as others hurl negativity at the Truth he or she speaks. The pain of seeing what ignorance has to say to Truth helps the true student of Christ die to the Satan within, just as He taught His disciples to do.
I do not need to quote scripture, because I live the same practice that Christ taught.
Thank you for your sincere question. The light of God will guide you to the source of Truth within. Please stay in touch.

to all it may concern,
not sure to those of you who have read the book, who are going to read the book or to who think the book is the mark of the beast and should be burned like the scrolls in Acts 19 but did we miss the message the book was trying to remind us of? as i read internet sites and different blogs from around the world i am reminded of a time not long ago when i myself wasn't a follower of Christ, a time a looked at Christians and laughed at the hypocrisy, it saddens me so much that this is how we as disciples choose to harness our energy. tell me who here hasn't judged or condemned one of these comments.
we are missing the point. i appreciate books like these because they serve as reminders (even if some think it some form of evangelistic capitalism). reminders of how much Jesus loves me. how much Jesus loves Kelly, how much Jesus loves Jennie, how much Jesus loves each and everyone of us.
i appreciate Craig and Jason for there encouragement and the stories they shared. i do not feel like it was money wasted (as a matter of fact i have already let a friend borrow the book). but clearly the message is still not piercing our hearts.
and Kelly who do you feel here believes they already know everything? i still don't think i fully understand why you dislike this book so much. also i'm an avid reader, what are some books that you enjoy that you can recommend to me?
Sometimes my finger get shaky when I feel God power pressing the icon to submit comments. Please pardon the duplicate posts.
A true outcast is one who stands up for what is true, decent and right, at all costs to the self. A teacher of Spiritual Truth does not do so in order make friends, get rich or become famous.
Jesus was a true outcast, because He told the Truth that cost Him His physical life. He was murdered by Satan Worshippers and false prophets, who hated the very Truth they purport to know how to teach.

Jesus loved me this I know,
for he gave up the false show
followed him to school one day
he saw through Satan's rules,
Yes, Jesus loved me,
yes, Jesus loved me,
yes, Jesus loved me,
but He never shed His clothes.
It's a beautiful world in, a sweet, romantic place,
beautiful Christians everywhere,
the way they comb their hair,
makes me want to say,
Goodnight all.

Jesus truly does love outcast. one of favorite examples of this is Matthew 8 after Jesus preaches the most incredible sermon known to man, the compassion he shows for his people, the compassion he shows for the people no one will talk to to, the compassion he shows for outcasts. Jesus could have healed anyone in the world as this point, Roman officials, who could have healed someone who could further better his cause, someone like Josephus (yes I know he wasn't born yet) but someone like him who would record the things he had done, but Jesus doesn't. Who does Jesus heal:
a leper
a gentile
a woman
he healed a bunch of outcast. people most Christians wouldn't appreciate coming in the door of church on Sunday morning.
Kelly, i agree we as Christians have a problem putting masks on when we meet together. too many Christians are only concerned with status and what so and so is wearing and does this tie match my socks and sweet hair cut.... but does Jesus not love me anyway? Jesus loved outcast, true. Jesus loves sinners, true.
one of my favorite examples of this is Jesus meeting the woman at the well. he tells her about every deep dark secret that she wishes she could bury and hide in the desert, but Jesus calls her out on it. he mentions her 5 marriages and the fact that she is living with another man. Jesus does this to let her know that even though you are a sinner, I love you.
Jesus knows us as sinners and loves us. Does Jesus love me? I really do believe so.
I'm afraid Jesus' love is just too big to put in the little box we as Christians try to confine it to. Does Jesus love outcast, of course but his love stretches out beyond that. he loves those of us who are pretending, those of us who drive a fancy sports car to church, those of us who have veneered teeth and armani suits.
i hope we can all give up a little more of our selves to become more like Jesus but in doing so i hope we learn to love like him!
Wait a minute...is Kelly from Westboro Baptist?
"Sometimes my finger get shaky when I feel God power pressing the icon to submit comments. Please pardon the duplicate posts."
You just ripped on Jennie because of her grammar and you proceed to type the above. Wow, your hypocrisy knows no bounds. But, Jesus does love you, too. I, on the other hand, am still trying.
Anyway, I'm having the problems accessing the Starving Jesus portion of the download. It is saying it is password encrypted. Anyone know how to open it.
FYI - If you are having problems opening the Starving Jesus portion of the download, drop me a line. Craig sent me a link and told me I could pass it around to those having problems.
Hope everyone is enjoying the book as much as I am.
