About The Book

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.

Everywhere, More.

Tomorrow is when the Jesus Loves You Book Tour hits Las Vegas.  Since moving here, we have discovered that Las Vegas could be described in one word, “MORE.”  Everything is more; more money, more casinos, more food, more sex, more greed…and from our vantage point in need of more love.

 

Woven in the fabric of every human existence is a vein that is filled with a want for more.  Vegas services that need.  Most everything in Vegas hinges on people’s desire to get.  Jesus came to give.  At its core, Vegas and its explosion in growth and size has been rooted in a cycle of getting.   Tourists travel here to hit it big and when the jackpot.  Many families have relocated here to find and get a job to sustain life.  Ironically, nothing is supposed to grow in the dessert.

 

If there was ever a town in need of Jesus’ love, it is Vegas.  Where many simple want to take, we want to give.  It’s why we created the Jesus Loves You Book tour stop to represent Jesus Loves Gluttons.  It’s our desire to meet people where they are and say, “Hey Vegas, we love you and want you to take a break and have lunch on us.  Sure, it is gimmicky, but then again, its Vegas.  Tomorrow, we will serve 400 people a free buffet lunch at the Orleans Casino.  So many say, “There is no such thing as a free lunch,”  we want to give a free lunch.  When so many are losing, we are setting the stakes to assure they win.  With no strings attached and only a desire to give, people get lunch on us.  We will give away some free books, have some drawings, and give some more.

Until then,
