I don’t personally know Craig Gross and Jason Harper. But I know Mike Foster, and Mike started xxxchurch.com with Craig. And because of my sheer, unadulterated appreciation of Mike Foster’s willingness to help me figure out Stuff Christians Like and the belief that Craig, by sheer osmosis of spending time with Mike, would be awesome, I took a look at his book, “Jesus Loves You: This I know.”

And it’s good. And it should be. Craig Gross recently started Strip Church in Las Vegas, and has spent years running into hurt, not away from hurt with the ministries he’s built.

This book is no different.

Things are pretty quiet right now as we head out of the holidays, but I would love for you to head into 2010 with a copy of Craig and Jason’s new book.
