I've just begun reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan. David knows my attention span for "Christian" books is extremely short, but he says this one is different.

The forward by Chris Tomlin says:
As Francis so brilliantly illustrates, the life that Jesus calls us to is absolutely craziness to the world. Sure, it's fine and politically correct to believe in God, but to really love Him is a whole different story. Yeah, it's nice and generous to give to the needy at Christmas or after some disaster, but to sacrifice your own comfort and welfare for another may look like madness to a safe and undisturbed world.
I'm only in the first chapter, but have already appreciated how Chan has a website that goes along with the book. And with chapters entitled "You Might Not Finish This Chapter" and "Your Best Life...Later" - well, I have to say I'm intrigued.
