Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God Hardcover - 2015

From the publisher

Revised & Updated--and now available in Hardcover! 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.

A study session for individual or small-group use appears at the end of each chapter is included in this book except for bonus chapter 11. If you're leading a discussion, the included notes for discussion leader's guide make this a valuable resource for individual study, small-group study, churches, youth groups, college campus ministries, and retreat weekends.
