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<\/a>. Below is a review from my colleague, Daniel Clark.<\/a> Pick it up as part of your fall reading.<\/p>\n

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\u2019ve heard from Tozer, Piper, and others, after all), he does so with an energy that is fresh and contagious. You wouldn\u2019t think that it is refreshing to be reminded of something over and over. But in the face of spiritual amnesia and religiousity, Chan\u2019s message breathes new life. The ninth chapter explores the lives of 12 individuals, a family, and a church that live by \u2018falling in love with God.\u2019 This is a highlight of the book. Again, Chan\u2019s message is simple: God is love. But the message comes through in a passionate way that is sure to light you up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A tireless advocate for fatherless children, Davis has spent most of his adult life calling U.S. believers to become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the 143 million orphans living around the world. Through those connections, thousands of orphans now have the bright and hopeful future--one that is filled with opportunities and the love of the one true Father. Davis speaks hundreds of times each year at churches and conferences, mobilizing the church to action on behalf of the poor. He is the author of four books. His most recent novel, SCARED is a fictionalized account of his first-hand experiencing living and working with orphans in Swaziland, Africa. Davis' blog is the premier resource for the latest developments in Christian orphan ministry. Davis also currently teaches courses as adjunct professor at George Fox University in Newberg, OR. When not traveling the globe, Davis resides in the mountains of Colorado in the small community of Palmer Lake. He and his wife Emily have seven children, including two adopted daughters from Russia.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/author\/tdavis"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
