Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God By Francis Chan

I received a Wowbrary email about a book my library recently purchased and I can't wait to read it. I ask myself these very questions and can't wait to read what this author has to say...

Content of Email:

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God By Francis Chan. From David C. Cook. (110 reviews)

'Sometimes I feel like when I make decisions that are remotely biblical, people who call themselves Christians are the first to criticize and say I'm crazy, that I'm taking the Bible too literally, or that I'm not thinking about my family's well-being. . . When people gladly sacrifice their time or comfort or home, it is obvious that they trust in the promises of God. Why is it that the story of someone who has actually done what Jesus commands resonates deeply with us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical or intense?


Check out the book's website for more information, description, table of contents and sample chapter.

Free Book

I received an email newsletter from ChristiaNet regarding an offer for a free book - Revolution in World Missions by K. P. Yohannan, the founder and president of Gospel for Asia, a mission organization involved in evangelism and church planting in the unreached regions of Asia. See ChristiaNet's email below:

Revolution in World Missions isn't really a book about missions. It's about what God can do with your heart when you let Him.

The book is free. And by that we mean completely free. No shipping or handling and no hidden fees.

So, there has to be a catch, right? Well, sort of. You need to give us two things. One is your mailing address, so we know where to send your free book. The other is your email address. We know you're wondering what we'll do with that. We don't blame you — we feel the same way about giving out our email addresses.

We will send you a confirmation email. We won't sell or rent your name to anyone and we won't get you on a spam list.

We're giving this book away because it changes people's lives!

Get the book for free.

For more information go to the website for Gospel for Asia.
