Revised & Updated Edition! God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it?

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 relationship 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.

The book “Crazy Love” is a good call for all to look anew at God and examine themselves to see if they are living a changed life. ( )

God is Love!

Excellent, easy, and yet very informative book. Love the topics Francis takes on. His passion for the subject comes through. Breaks it down into simple truths, things we NEED to not just think about, but do. God loves us. We should love him too. And our love should show. ( )

作者是一個很熱情的人,他在書裡的熱情很有感染力。書中前幾章的主題是神對人的crazy love,書後面四分之三的主題是人可以怎樣回應神的愛,即使要活出激進、旁人看來「瘋狂」的人生也應該在所不惜。他特別關心貧富議題,他自己被神的愛感動、又接觸了非洲一些生活在貧困之中的朋友之後,就把他在加州的房子賣掉,一家人改住小房子,賣房子的錢拿去奉獻。他說他的朋友,很多甚至是基督徒朋友,會覺得這個決定是不明智、不負責任的,而他認為基督徒會有這樣的想法,反應出現代美國社會的基督徒,不是以聖經裡所敘述的,一心一意的方式在跟隨耶穌,「美國夢」反而取代了神在信徒心中的位置,他鼓勵基督徒要有一個願意被神改變的心。他有兩章很著重在描述,一個把神放在美國夢之上的基督徒,是什麼樣子的,並且舉了很多他生活中認識的,有這樣一份crazy love,和窮人與社會邊緣人親近的弟兄姊妹以及他們的人生選擇,作為例子來激勵讀者。 ( )
