  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;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? Or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is? The way it should be?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Crazy Love is a good book. But I’m not certain it is a great book. The author Francis Chan does an excellent job making bold,  though I believe Biblical, statements to a sleeping church. If one is living the life of a halfhearted, lukewarm, or partially committed Christian, it would be difficult t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71088770">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Francis Chan is one of my favorite speakers and his first book is no less superb in the manner that it challenges Christians' view of God, convicts us of our shortcomings, restores us through the love of the Father, and compels us to action. In short, he speaks the truth, but does so in love.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58152350">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was not an easy book to read. Everyday I read it I left feeling like I have been less than God wants me to be. Not a huge suprise but reading this book was a huge daily reminder that we are called to do more. One of the best things I think I took from this book was the idea that we should treat...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64035120">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was written five, ten, and fifteen years ago, except it must have had other titles, written by other authors for earlier church counter-cultures.  I do not mean to say that the book is unnecessary.  It is exactly what is needed right now for the christian counter-culture folks to keep thei...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67783919">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is challenging, convicting, Christ-centered. A lot of the information is taken from many of Chan's past sermons, which means this book is great! The content and style of this book is very rare. Chan speaks to your heart rather than exclusively to your mind.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50360261">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have to admit I was drawn to the title of this book.  I was a little less than overwhelmed, although it did get much better as it went along.  It had many good reminders about life as a Christian - stop praying AT God, live your life as though it means something, etc. but I felt like I was reading...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71184494">more...</a>]]></body>
