Description

It's crazy, if you think about it. 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. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong.

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 relationships 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.

    This book is what everyone needs to read. It's time to get real with God and yourself about your relationship with Almighty God. I have been teaching it in my Church and it has changed the way people want to live their lives.

    This book is unspeakably encouraging. Chan speaks boldly and without shame about the reality of what Scripture teaches us about living life for Christ. All points and convictions are based on Scripture, plain and simple. This book has done more to humbly convict and propel me personally toward action than hundreds of sermons and advices. Not anymore! I am inspired an encouraged by the Love revealed and put on display, to change my life for the better. I have already personally recommended this book to the people in my life. I extend that to anyone considering it as well.
  • Must buy!

    I had this book for months and finally got bored and read it. I regret not reading it earlier. Another thing to show i was being lukewarm and not wanting to learn more about God. This book taught me a lot and gave me a lot to think about. I followed this book with a three hour bible study. Something I hadn't taken time to do before.

    This has been the second greatest book I have read. It helps to challenge me to be a better Christian, which in turn makes me a better human. Learning to live a life completed devoted to Christ is something we should all strive for. He makes so many valid points to change us from stagnant, lukewarm Christians to people who love and can't stand to not be in the presence of our Lord and savior. I've given and recommended this book to everyone I know. WARNING: This book comes with a lot of conviction. Francis Chan is now my favorite author.

    Excellent book. It will challenge your thoughts and empower you to live more for Christ. Make you think and understand why you are poor, blind , and naked. We all can do all, if we want to.

    What an amazing and convicting book! I am truly challenged to rethink the way I live. Francis, clearly and straightforwardly uses the scriptures to call Christians to more, where most of us are settling for less. Please take the time to read this book and consider what it says.

    This was a really great book. It spoke to me on a very personal level. Francis Chan does a really awesome job when he reminds us of who God really is, what this life is about, and how we are supposed to behave as true followers of Christ.

    Chan does a fantastic job of diving into the issues of the lukewarm church. He challenges us on every page with truth from the scriptures. Obedience is the call Chan asks us to obey which is what Jesus told his disciples, "If you love me then obey what I have commanded. Chan does a fantastic job of challenging the reader to really dive deeper into their relationship with God.
