  <default_description>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&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;/DIV&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow. Few books have messed up my whole perspective on life and Christianity as much as this one. Starting with the awesomness of God's love for us, Francis Chan then makes a very convicting, challenging assay of how we, as Christians, should be living and loving. From there he presents the gospel me...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73428232">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My spirit and passion for the Lord was newly set aflame by this book.  There were passages that spoke what my heart always wanted to say to the Lord, but I never had the proper words.  It was nearly breathtaking at times, in both conviction and encouragement to my soul.
