Crazy Love by Francis Chan

Francis Chan uses scripture from the Bible to show that our relationship with the one true living God, Jesus Christ, should be much more according to our proclamation of love for Him and that we should be : Overwhelmed by a Relentless God (subtitled).

Francis points out both his own downfalls and weaknesses while also challenging ours expressing it passionately in his writing.  When Francis talks about the everyday things we start filling our lives up with and how we shut out the Holy Spirit and give God our ‘leftovers’ it personally made me feel like saying OUCH!

There are examples in the book of how our love is doing, or not doing justice to our relationship with God and others.  Some may even be considered extreme or provoke a sense of being defensive in the way we live our own lives.

I wanted to get a better ‘feel’ for this author because sometimes they bring up ‘good points’ but are not necessarily believable by the people who present them.  I went online and found some audio & video podcasts from the church he pastors (and started) Cornerstone, in Simi Valley.  I still love listening to his sermons.

The book has an additional website called http://www.crazylovebook.com/ that has introduction videos to each chapter and other ‘enhancements’ that go with the book.

$8.99 on Amazon.com, good price in my opinion!
