"A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment; it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4)"

Adriane bought me this book for Christmas, and I started it last week, it felt so good to make time to read a book, something I want to do more of this year, '08 found me starting many books but not finishing a one, I want to finish those I start this year and I am on my way with the first one. Crazy Love is written by Francis Chan, a pastor in Cali. Adriane and I got to hear him speak a few years ago in Atlanta at the Catalyst conference, our good friend Jeremie Kubicek oversees the company that puts on Catalyst - the reason we went out there. Anyway, I became an instant fan of Francis Chan. I could tell while he was speaking that he was just letting us in on his journey with Jesus. Nothing fancy, speaking of what he has seen and heard in Jesus and what he wants to experience in Him. This book is a continuation of that journey.

It has warmed my heart again for the important things that find themselves on the back burners of our hearts, where the burner is on low. It is a book of passionate simplicity & truth about always being obsessed with Jesus. And it causes me to respond to Jesus with praise and to ask for a deeper obsession with this one that loves me with an unfailing love! If you are someone tired or are just feeling numb, I recommend this book. Let Jesus speak to you through it. As Chan talks about the greatness and vastness of God, let it sink in. He is truly a God that our tiny minds cannot even begin to grasp, and since he is nothing but good, that is such an exciting thing.

Another cool bonus with the book is that there are video clips, that if you choose, you can watch online as you read each chapter. I did a few, not necessary but does help you to digest the truth you are reading.
Enjoy.
