This title in other formats:Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless Godby Francis Chan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe--the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor--loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrifi cing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not.we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Review:"Chan, senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, Calif., offers a radical call for evangelicals to consider and emulate in this debut guide to living 'crazy' for God. Chan's own life compels him to live with urgency, and with good reason. His mother died giving birth to him, his stepmother died when he was nine, and his dad when he was 12. As a pastor, Chan says that conducting weekly funerals for people younger than himself has likewise sobered him to life's unexpectedness and frailty. Chan writes with infectious exuberance, challenging Christians to take the Bible seriously. He describes at length the sorry state of 'lukewarm' Christians who strive for a life characterized by control, safety and an absence of suffering. In stark contrast, the book offers real-life accounts of believers who have given all — time, money, health, even their lives — in obedience to Christ's call.Chan also recounts his own attempts to live 'crazy' by significantly downsizing his home and giving away his resources to the poor.Earnest Christians will find valuable take-home lessons from Chan's excellent book." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:God is Love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love.
Synopsis:God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. This sounds crazy to some: There's a God, all-powerful and all-knowing, and He loves you. And not just any kind of love, this is the I-love-you-so-much-I'll-send-my- Son-to-die-on-a-cross-to-save-you kind of love. And maybe it is crazy. Crazy in all the right ways. Think about it. God, the Creator of everything — from nitrogen to pine needles; from oceans to E-minor — THAT God, loves you. And after we rebelled and rejected Him, He loved us so much, He made a plan to rescue us so we might be with Him forever. So yeah, that's a little crazy. But it's true and it's the good news that has changed billions of lives over the past 2000 years. Pastor Francis Chan, creator of JustStopAndThink.com, wants everyone to come to terms with this impossible, relentless, crazy love of God. God doesn't want your begrudging leftovers or even your good intentions. He wants you--heart, soul, and mind. That's why you are here.
