Photography Afriel: what I'm reading

Hey friends! In hitting my 2011 goals hard early on, I've finished my first book (and 1/2way through two others). I thought I'd take a second to talk about <a href="http://www.crazylovebook.com/">Crazy Love</a>, by Francis Chan. First off, and I hope the author reads this, I thoroughly enjoyed chapter 9 (there were 10 chapters total). Chapter nine painted pictures of people from all walks of life who felt a calling to live servant lives for the Lord. Their stories were truly remarkable, and inspiring, and (at times) unbelievable. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.crazylovebook.com/images/crazylove_cover.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://www.crazylovebook.com/images/crazylove_cover.png" width="220" /></a></div> Chapters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 10, however, were rough. Rough in the way that a sharpening stone is rough. It pointed out a lot of ways I could live a life more closely to what God wants for me, and convicted me on a couple of areas of my life. This book is meant for the Christian who wants to become a deeper, more REAL Christian, by abandoning lukewarm tendencies we seem to fall into as the newness/fire of being a Christian wears off. I don't like to give too much away in any book review I do, and today is no different. However, I will say that the thesis in Crazy Love is that the Lord wants us to be crazy-in-love with Him. Like the way I was crazy-in-love with Meredith and left my full-time job, sold my house, and moved to Arkansas for. THAT kind of love. Which I love. But which is quite hard. :) If this book is something you feel called to read, I totally recommend you to do so. But be prepared for painful sharpening. Talk to you soon, Dale
