Crazy Love

Several weeks ago I finished the book “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan. A couple of people had recommended it to me, so I wanted to see what the hype was about. I’m not a very big book reader, or for that matter, one of those people that let books change their lives, but I think it’s safe to say that this one changed mine. Francis Chan writes about just how extreme God’s love is for us. I’ve grown up in a Christian household and always have attended church, but I never ever realized the extent of just how radical God’s love is for until I read this book. Just like Chan’s introduction video that I posted, he helped me realize through this book just how truly great our Savior is. This book made me start thinking different about the way I view things. I have always loved sunrises and sunsets, and I’d watch them every day if I could, but now I view them as so much more than just a pretty scene. That’s just a simple example though, I view life completely differently now. This book made me realize just how precious life is, and how grateful I should be for my ever-changing, twisted journey as well. This book is very straight forward, and if you read it, it will probably get uncomfortable at times because it will make you realize things about your life you don’t want to fess up to, but it does this so you will realize your weaker points and fix them. Now, some people may look at this book and view it as one man’s opinion, but Chan provides plenty of textual scripture passages to back up his work. It’s a great book, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone!! I will probably read it several times, because it’s a great book to go back to for advice and guidance.
