One of my favorite preachers to listen to is Francis Chan, who is one intense dude - and his intensity is all directed towards Jesus - which is where I want mine to be!
Chan's first book, Crazy Love, just came out. I read it last week and highly recommend it. You know how sometimes people will say, "It was like drinking from a fire hydrant"? Well, this book is like drinking from a baseball bat. It's like Chan holds you down with one hand and beats you with a baseball bat held in the other. And I mean that in the best possible way.
The book is about the greatness of God, but even more about how we should respond to a God that amazing. Chan holds up the standards for true discipleship of Jesus, rather than of the modern-day American church. It's scorching, again in the best possible way.
Go out and get this book, it's challenged me in a way that no other book has in awhile.

Got it yesterday. Got to see him on DVD a month or so ago...incredible communicator. Thanks for the recommendation.
BTW: Chris and I gave your book to my parents, and they LOVE it! My Mom called me today raving over it...just thought you'd like to know!
Oh yeah, and it's also "required" reading for everyone on our team!
