Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
By Francis Chan
This is an amazing book. I’m not even sure how to begin describing it. So, I will transcribe the description on the back cover of the book:
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 the pine needles, galaxies and E-minor – loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing 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.
This book was really a call to action for me to love God wholeheartedly and care more about other people. You won’t be the same after reading this book!

Honestly THE best book I’ve EVER read!
I’m only 18 and it’s impacted my life in ways I never thought would happen until I was older.
I’ll recommend it 1000 times, and then 1000 more times!
I’ve heard about this book, but have yet to pick it up for myself. I’ve seen some of the video clips on the website. Those videos might spark someone’s interest as well. Check it out! http://www.crazylovebook.com
In particular, I watched “The Awe Factor of God” and “Just Stop and Think.” Both very good thought-provoking videos.

This book is a must read. I buy them and give them to anyone that will take one
That’s great. I’ll have to go to the bookstore and flip through it. It may be exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Yes, I think it would be great for small group settings. My girlfriend said that they had group discussions from this book in their Bible study.
That sounds like a really interesting book, by any chance do you know if its in a format that would work for a small group setting?
