Read an Excerpt Crazy Love OVERWHELMED BY A RELENTLESS GOD By FRANCIS CHAN, Danae Yankoski David C. ![]() Chan writes with infectious exuberance, challenging Christians to take the Bible seriously. Known for his passionate, biblical style, Chan is on the board of World Impact and is the author of Forgotten God, Erasing Hell, and Crazy Love, which has sold nearly two million copies. As a pastor, Chan says that conducting weekly funerals for people younger than himself has likewise sobered him to life’s unexpectedness and frailty. His mother died giving birth to him, his stepmother died when he was nine, and his dad when he was 12. Chan’s own life compels him to live with urgency, and with good reason. 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. ![]()
