    About this audiobook

    God is love.
    Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love.     Revised and updated edition of the best-seller, now with a new preface and a bonus chapter. 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.

      Most compelling Christian novel I've read in MY LIFE. Why? Because it's about God. Not the author. Nothing fluffy or fleshly about it. this man lives for Jesus and His Glory only.. which has sadly become a rarity in our Christian Authors and Speakers who tend to shift the focus onto flesh driven desires, watered down "faith" and self gratifying 'Ministries'.. This man is an artist, a fully devoted and humble disciple and an example of what it looks like to walk by faith.

      Awesome book!! You can no longer make the excuse of being a lukewarm christian after reading this book. It isn't about living life and squeezing in time with God but instead putting Christ 1st and life 2nd...serving others, not ourselves...making real changes in obedience to God's word...seeing what it means to literally live out the words of Jesus as the norm instead of "radical." It has lit a fire under me and a desire to live out the word of God, not just read it and agree and go to church every week but nothing more. I'm not perfect & have a long way to go but I'm expecting change within myself and excited about the work that Christ has for me. This book requires that we examine ourselves as Christians and take steps to living as an obedient, loving, servant of Christ & standing out in this world. The author ends this book with the question/thought that at the end of our lives when we are face to face with our holy & righteous God and he asks each of us what we did with the time and gifts he gave us on earth...what will you say...how will you answer? (To help me seek out the right direction for myself, I also picked up the Crazy Love workbook which has some great thought provoking questions and suggestions for a Christ filled life, attitude and journey.)

      I had mixed feelings about this book. While I recognise the need for much of the church to be woken up and understand that God wants our all not just our leftovers, this was maybe a little bit of too much guilt not enough focus on God. He describes what lukewarm Christians look like but the problem is we all look like that a lot of the time, the fact is we all fall short a lot of the time. I realise that we need to be challenged not to accept it but the answer isn't more effort but more focus on God and His grace.

      Wonderful soul
      Stirring and life changing read. I was so impacted by this that people started asking me what I was doing that was different to normal. My purpose in the grand scheme of things just became a little clearer.
    • 5/5
      This book causes one to really analyze how they love God. fondness or deep committed pursuit to be with the one they profess to love. We are here on earth to live and love like JESUS DID!
    • 5/5
      This book cannot be read once!!! It really shook my thinking and hopefully actions but hopefully my love for God! I’m forever changed

      I really enjoyed this entire book. However, the addition of chapter 11 was my favorite part!
    • 5/5
      Amazing book! The content is convicting, and I can tell this book was written by the Holy Spirit!

    • 5/5
      This book was so eye opening for me. Especially about being a lukewarm Christian. He was spot on! So much pertained to me personally. I purchased the book and the workbook that goes along with it and am going to start it in the next couple of days. So worth reading/listening to!

      Very convicting read! Honestly not what I was expecting and at first seemed a little to serious for me but I’m so glad I stuck with it. Let’s get radical!!!

      Francis is an amazing, challenging and loving author!! This book can change your life, if you let it! Amazingly written! The audio of Francis reading it to me and explaining as he goes was way better than me reading to myself! Awesome book!

      Strengthen my faith. Gave me a sense of wanting to study harder
    • 5/5
      Every Christian should read this book. If you have had strife with the church or Christians in general and seen them as hypocritical, read this book.
    • 5/5
      A must read for EVERYONE on this planet! I make sure to read this or listen to this book once a year! Such a great reminder of a Great God (Jesus!) and all that He has done for us!
    • 5/5
      Jesus calls us to follow. It’s a beautifully narrow road, but I can’t imagine life without Him. What a wonderful and challenging call to look in the mirror and ask myself some difficult questions. I highly recommended this book if drawing closer to God is what you are after.
    • 5/5
      Amazing. Eye opening. Convicting yet encouraging. It’s time to truly, pick up the cross... and follow Him.
