Random Quote - Lloyd Jones

“I am certain that the world outside is not going to take much notice of the organised efforts of the Christian church. The one thing she will pay attention to is a body of people filled with this Spirit of rejoicing. This is how Christianity conquered the ancient world.“
D. M. Lloyd Jones - Joy Unspeakable

With so much talk these days about responding to culture, and making the church "relevant(?)" - perhaps we've put too much emphasis on the small things and lost sight of what matters most.

Crazy Love

Out of the three people that read this blog, one has read this book, ones in the middle of it, an one's already had to listen to me harp on about it. However, its still worth a few posts, not least to keep me thinking about the themes and challenges it poses.

Simply put, this is an amazing book! 

Chan basically spends three chapters having us reevaluate who God is, and then the remaining seven examining our response to him. Every page has a challenge, and the impassioned, loving tone that Chan uses throughout makes it impossible to ignore what he is saying or to think that he has any ulterior motive other than love for God and His church.

As an accompaniment to the book he's set up crazylovebook.com that includes videos relating to each chapter. Below is the video introduction to wet your appetite if you haven't already got it [Pete].

Read Challies review and then get straight onto Amazon and order this book!
