Crazy Love - Overwhelmed by a Relentless God by Francis Chan
I've heard of this book for months, and I'm so excited to be reading this now! I've just begun chapter 4 but it doesn't take that long to figure out...this book is powerful. And it goes right along with the powerful, mind-set altering book I just finished, Radical. I just love it when God does that - brings things together like that - hammering home a message into this brain that is often times too slow!
Here is some info from the http://www.crazylovebook.com/ website:
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
I'm excited because I feel like the Lord is doing a new work in me. I want to go deeper, know Him more...love Him more. I don't want a nice, comfortable life, trying my best to do good deeds...with a little bit of Jesus sprinkled in. That is not my goal for my life.
I want to be crazy, head-over-heels in love with Jesus. And I want it to show in everything I say and do.
Amen, sister!!! I need to read both of those books.
