Dangerous Direction
“Dangerous” is the first word I think of when it comes to this book. The authors will like that, patting themselves on the back for “offending” in the name of Christ.

Craig Gross & JR Mahon have re-released the book just about one year after the 40 day tour and the release of the book originally. They have added two chapters talking about the tour, the 40 day fast, and all that transpired as they traveled across the country in an RV chained to a pew. <br/><br/>If you have not read the book, you definitely should. It is a great read and while you won't agree with everything they say, if you are like me you will be happy that someone is saying it. If you read the book already, I think the last two chapters are worth the $10 from Amazon.com . In many respects, the book felt incomplete without it. <br/><br/>In the last two chapters, both JR & Craig are very honest and real. In many respects the tour did not turn out the way they hoped. But there is a humbleness--a brokenness--that comes through those last two chapters that, for me, makes the rest of the book more powerful. <br/><br/>I found myself re-energized and excited about giving, fasting, and praying after re-reading the book. It also made me happy that we played a small part as one of the host churches for the tour. <br/><br/>Again, if you haven't read this book... read it.

It forced me to look at the fact that I am a lazy Christian and its not okay. It is written in a really exciting way and it keeps you interested throughout the whole book. <br/><br/>I noticed someone complained about how the authors didn't seem very loving towards lazy Christians, but the authors were honest about that. And, just because they didn't like their lifestyle doesn't mean they didn't love them! Loving someone means wanting the most Holy thing for them, and being a lazy Christian isn't Holy! <br/><br/>And about the fasting, yeah they did not give very good advice on that. A 40 day fast is the longest fast in the Bible, and its probably a very bad idea to do one for your first fast. So, if you were inspired to fast by this book (which I was) do some more research. <br/><br/>I recommend this book to absolutely EVERYONE, because it is truly, truly life changing.
