Chan also recounts his own attempts to live ‘crazy’ by significantly downsizing his home and giving away his resources to the poor.

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. He describes at length the sorry state of ‘lukewarm’ Christians who strive for a life characterized by control, safety, and an absence of suffering.

Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. And once you encounter his love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. 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. 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. Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not, we all know something’s wrong. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. The God of the universe-the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor-loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy, if you think about it. Logos Research Subscription for Schools.
