"We go to church, sing songs and try not to cuss...is that all there is to being a Christian?"
I heard Francis Chan for the first time at the 2007 Catalyst Leadership conference and I was mesmorized by his teaching. When I saw that he released a book this year, I had to pick it up. It didn't disappoint.
Crazy Love is a book that goes back to the basics of what it means to be a Christian and what the Christian church needs to be all about. The book is very conversational and challenges the reader to live a radical life that loves God. Truly living isn't about following rules, it's about loving a God who has no end to His love.
To get a taste of Francis Chan, check out the book link
Some quotes I took away from the book:
"Are we in love with God or just His stuff?"
"When you are truly in love, you will go to great lengths to be with the one you love." Now apply that to God.
"Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly."
