Crazy Love Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
Crazy Love Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

Chan, senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, Calif., offers a radical call for evangelicals to consider and emulate in this debut guide to living crazy for God. Chan’s own life compels him to live with urgency, and with good reason. His mother died giving birth to him, his stepmother died when he was nine, and his dad when he was 12. As a pastor, Chan says that conducting weekly funerals for people younger than himself has likewise sobered him to life’s unexpectedness and frailty. Chan writes with infectious exuberance, challenging Christians to take the Bible seriously. He describes at length the sorry state of lukewarm Christians who strive for a life characterized by control, safety and an absence of suffering. In stark contrast, the book offers real-life accounts of believers who have given all—time, money, health, even their lives—in obedience to Christ’s call.Chan also recounts his own attempts to live crazy by significantly downsizing his home and giving away his resources to the poor.Earnest Christians will find valuable take-home lessons from Chan’s excellent book.

5 Stars Crazy Is A Good Thing
Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God by Francis Chan is a book written by a pastor who feels life must be lived urgently. He has conducted many funerals for people who are younger than him. He wants Christians to take the Bible seriously. He feels Christians today are just lukewarm when it comes to their religion and the Bible itself.
After you read this book it may be a good time to consider reading my book entitled “The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers, a Message for Everyone” (See Profile Above)
5 Stars excellent
what a great portriat of what the christian life should look like! francis chan lives out this life and shows that it is all possible!
5 Stars Lukewarm
This is a powerful book! Chan describes the lukewarm christian in a practical way, to help us see for ourselves how this describes what most of us are, lukewarm!
5 Stars life-changing
I love CRAZY LOVE!! Can’t recommend it highly enough — and there’s a DVD, to facilitate group studies. Wish I had extra copies to hand out, so no one would have an excuse not to read this one.
5 Stars Christian reality that hurts so good…
For those that are looking for a book to remind them of what a good christian they are, keep looking. Crazy Love is a eye-opening reminder of how much more we have to do as Christians. It will make you think of what else you need to do as you move forward on your journey. I read this book in three nights, and would recommend it to anyone who needs a good “kick in the pants” reminder to stop patting yourself on the back for how great you think you are, and how to create a crazy loving relationship with God. (This would also be a great read for a book club or Sunday School discussion)! Five Stars…

Mr Brooks

Kevin Costner as a warped serial killer, a pillar of the community whose dark side is embodied by an on-screen William Hurt? You have to admit, it sounds intriguing, right? Mr. Brooks is the vehicle for this unsavory story, and it turns out to be a lot less kicky than it sounds. Mr. Brooks is a Portland, Oregon tycoon and philanthropist whose “addiction” to murder is suddenly re-surfacing–with plenty of help from his sneering alter ego, who generally sits in the back of the car, goading Mr. Brooks on. (The other characters can’t see William Hurt in all this, of course.) The unbelievably convoluted plot has Mr. Brooks confronted by a blackmailer (comedian Dane Cook) who has a surprising twist on things, and trailed by a cop (Demi Moore) who comes equipped with her own set of professional and marital woes. As if that weren’t enough, when Brooks’s daughter (Danielle Panabaker) comes home, it becomes clear that some traits run in the family.
The scenes with Costner and Hurt are the best stuff in the film, even if director Bruce Evans can’t figure out how to play fair visualizing their presence to others. But the script, which among other whoppers make Demi Moore’s character a millionaire, is just too unbelievable to stomach. If William Hurt’s character provided a running commentary for this movie, there wouldn’t be anything left after he got through mocking it. –Robert Horton

4 Stars MR. BROOKS AND DANE COOK IN ONE FOR THE BOOKS! 3 3/4 STARS!
‘Mr. Brooks’ is an interesting entry in the serial killer genre, but the film is a bit long and seems a little contrived at times. While I found this inside look into the killer’s mind engrossing, some scenes seemed out of place and over the top. It’s almost like your watching two different movies spliced together. Over all it’s a good crime drama if a bit predictable, with a good cast that’s a little different than your average serial killer film.
1 Star Sooooooooo BORING!
Please, someone wake me when this is over! But no one did, I fell asleep and woke up sometime after the movie. I tried to re-watch it, but this movie was just way too BORING. Yes, I understand the director was taking an “intellectual” spin on the whole serial killer genre, but I think I’ve just reached my limit to the whole genre of serial killer movies. People that kill other people for sport, revenge, or because they are mentally unstable are just not all that interesting. There is no exception here. And when there was “action” it seemed so out of place with the main plot which was much slower and methodical.
5 Stars Sewing Freak
This was a good but creepy movie. Kevin Costner takes on a new character role. I am a huge Kevin Costner fan and was very interested in seeing what he did in this movie.
4 Stars not bad
not bad quality, though it froze on chapter 23. cleaned it then fine. got it fast
5 Stars Best of the post-Lechter serial killer movies
This is one very entertaining film. The running dialog between Earl & Marshall are just brilliant, helped enormously by superb performances by Costner & Hurt, two of the very best actors alive. No question the plot is twisty but the twists work in a very classic Thomas Harris influenced style & pace. And the pace of this movie never lets up. BTW, I’m a photographer & I have to say the cinematography is outstanding.
A very well-made & highly entertaining film! Wish there were more like it.
