For the past year or so I've heard people rave about Crazy Love by Francis Chan. As one who is generally cautious about any book I read, I am especially cautious when selecting a book about my Christian walk. I stick with the authors I know: Eric & Leslie Ludy, Elizabeth George, Joni Eareckson Tada, Max & Jenna Lucado, Joshua Harris, & Cary Schmidt (to name a few). Even this short list was based on recommendations from trusted family & friends. So, I have to admit that when I saw that New York Times had listed Crazy Love as a bestseller, red flags went up & I became more cautious than ever. I mean, Times isn't exactly known for its God-centered point of view.
But Crazy Love kept popping up. After recommendations from several trusted friends, I finally caved to the peer pressure & told Mom I'd be interested in reading Chan's 2008 publication. Guess what I unwrapped Christmas morning? Crazy Love & Living Crazy Love by Francis Chan.
Throughout the next several posts (as long as I can stay on top of reading & posting to you) I'll be discussing what I am learning about being "overwhelmed by a relentless God." It's time to pick up your own copy of Crazy Love & read on.
