Revised & Updated Edition! 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Francis’s life reflects authentic leadership tempered by a deep compassion for the lost, the last, the littlest, and the least. It’s all because this man, my friend, is an ardent and devoted disciple of his Savior. In his fresh new book, Crazy Love, Francis peels back what we think the Christian life is, and guides us down the path toward an uncommon intimacy with Jesus—an intimacy which can’t help but change the world around us!” ― Joni Eareckson Tada, best-selling author and speaker

“Chan writes with infectious exuberance, challenging Christians to take the Bible seriously. He describes at length the sorry state of ‘lukewarm’ Christians who strive for a life characterized by control, safety, and an absence of suffering. In stark contrast, the book offers real-life accounts of believers who have given all—time, money, health, even their lives—in obedience to Christ’s call. Chan also recounts his own attempts to live ‘crazy’ by significantly downsizing his home and giving away his resources to the poor. Earnest Christians will find valuable take-home lessons from Chan’s excellent book.” ― Publishers

"In an age of religious phonies, spiritual apathy, and disheartening books suggesting that God is a delusion, Crazy Love shines like a glorious beacon of hope and light. If you're stuck in a religious rut, read this refreshing book.  I found it eye-opening and soul-thrilling. Whether in the pulpit or on the page, Francis Chan effuses love for Jesus Christ and demonstrates practical ways to throw off lukewarm Christianity and embrace full-on, passionate love for God." ― Kirk Cameron, actor and author

If you want to feel good about your christian walk, this book is not for you!
This book is not intended for Christians with a faint heart. Before I made my purchase, (at the book store) I read numerous amazon reviews. There were quite a few disappointed readers who's primary complaint was I felt bad or I didnt feel like a good Christian anymore, or it was too harsh and not the message of grace. Well, none of us are worthy and it's not ALL about grace. This is a great book if you want to be challenged and convicted. If you like where you are and don't want that life to be disturbed, save your money. Chan is brutal, and it's easy to feel like your reading a beating at times. But that's Good!! He's not saying you can never ever get it right, it's more about being willing to put aside your will and decide to fully commit to God's will. Chan is not rendering that old oppressive theology of stop sinning and youll be worthy. We as Christians should never feel comfortable in our walk with God and that's the challenge Chan puts forth, to get out of your comfort zone and dare to try and love God as much as He loves you by giving of yourself and your resources to Him. Only you and God know what that looks like. You will squirm in your seat as you read, and may want to put the book down feeling more and more unworthy of God's grace...as you should. But the main point Chan wants us to get is we are loved by God who makes us worthy and if we call ourselves servants, how are we serving Him; what sacrifices are we making to serve our gracious and loving Father? If you like being comfortable in your christian walk and with the typical goto church on Sunday, Bible study on Wednesday, pay 10% of your income plus a little more for offering, volunteer at the shelter or lead bible youth group and you're content with that, don't bother the venture to this book, you won't like it. However, if you know somethings missing, or you know you could be doing so much more for God and just want something to shake you up from spiritual mediocrity, this is definitely a book for you. It was not the most fascinating read, hence 4 stars, but it was a good, solid and necessary one. I would highly recommended this book to any Christian who wants to avoid complacency.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life changing book
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013

Crazy Love is one of the best books I have ever read and certainly the best I have read this year. The writing style is very simple, personable, non-technical, compassionate, and interesting. This book will rock your faith and challenge you in ways other books (other than the Bible) have not. Chan makes an argument for Lordship in the book and clearly explains why Lukewarm Christianity not the answer. We live in a day where out churches are filled with luke-warm Christians or false converts. Just take a look around and see how many Christians are truly interested in evangelism. Not many.. Or take a look around and see that so many churches are interested in "entertainment evangelism" which means they think that the music, the video games, or the movies will attract people to God and they base their methodology on pragmatism over scripture. What they do not know is that these methods are a great way to produce false converts or Luke-warm Christians. But for more on that subject check out John MacArthur's book "Hard to Believe." Remember that Jesus commanded the church to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15) so this implies that witnessing in your local city, town, or workplace would be just as valuable to Him over someone whom moves to East Africa. Too often missions is heavily emphasized while local evangelism is frowned upon in the church. If you cannot serve overseas due to large debts, physical problems, family commitments, or whatever the reason, then buy yourself some tracts from Living Waters or some other ministry and go and reach your local community with the gospel! Take a look at page 173 and answer the question. What do you want to be doing when Christ Returns? Do you want Him to find you out drinking and spending all your money on video games and entertainment? Or would you rather Him find you out witnessing? I prefer the later.

This book is convicting in that the emphasis on the book is God and glorifying Him. Far too many books these days are written by Arminian that think live revolves around themselves and God serving them, and so they are not all that Biblical. God is the focus of this book (check out chapter 1) and there is so much involved for man to continue to live each day. As Chan states in chapter 2 you are just someone that appears for a short time and then vanishes. So how do you want to make your life count for all of eternity? On page 46 Chan tells a story of a man named Stan whom preached at a funeral and challenged the audience to get right with God before it was too late as God could take their life at any moment. A few minutes later Stan fell over and died and God had taken him after that Gospel challenge. Perhaps some got saved that day.

Contrary to some other reviews this book is not teaching that one must do these things to be saved, but that showing Christ's Lordship and your obsession with Him proves that you are indeed saved, and are a slave of God. This book will rock your Christian life and I would suggest reading it again, and again as I plan on doing. Some other books that are also good and have similar themes as this one are "Radical & Follow Me" by David Platt. Buy those ones as well and read them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chen challenges us to understand what it means to love like God - and then act on it!
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

This is such a beautiful, compelling, challenging book. Francis paints an overwhelming, awe inspiring picture of God the creator, then discusses God the father's all-encompassing love for each of us individually, and then challenges us to live up to the greatest commandment to love - by taking action! And the thing is, Fancis has, plainly and simply and actually. He isn't perfect and shares his thoughts and insights as he discovered the truth of Gods word and as that led him down the path he (and his family) have taken. This is a very inspiring and challenging book, that has to leave you feeling good just trying to get a grip on just how much God loves you.

I encourage you to read NDN's review of May 21, 2016....in case you can't find it, it goes like this (and I quote):
