Crazy Love

We had originally planned to read "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World"; however, we have had a few changes! The next book that we will be reading together will be "Crazy Love", by Francis Chan.

Last month Pastor Scott taught a lot about love. During the same time, I was praying about what book we should do next, how it should be done, etc. I ran across this book and it was pretty clear that it would be the next book. You can read more about the book at www.crazylovebook.com, if you are interested.

Here is a little blurb about the book from the book's website:

"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."


My prayer would be that we are all able to better see how overwhelming and relentless the Father's love for us truly is, and that we would respond to Him with a similar love! I hope that you will join us in this next book study! Blessings!
