Francis Chan is a fellow David C. Cook author who has written a fantastic book I highly recommend. It’s entitled, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed with a Relentless God. Below is a review from my colleague, Daniel Clark. Pick it up as part of your fall reading.

Francis Chan is a catalyst. As a pastor, speaker, and writer, he focuses on igniting passionate devotion to God. This is clear in Crazy Love, a book endorses by Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio of Passion Conferences. While Chan does not chart new territory (he is writing the same thing that we’ve heard from Tozer, Piper, and others, after all), he does so with an energy that is fresh and contagious. You wouldn’t think that it is refreshing to be reminded of something over and over. But in the face of spiritual amnesia and religiousity, Chan’s message breathes new life. The ninth chapter explores the lives of 12 individuals, a family, and a church that live by ‘falling in love with God.’ This is a highlight of the book. Again, Chan’s message is simple: God is love. But the message comes through in a passionate way that is sure to light you up.
