just started reading crazy love.
and heck, it's amazing. it's so incredibly challenging but great
here's a snippet from the preface.

'before we look at what is wrong and address it, we need to understand something. the core problem isn't the fact that we're lukewarm, halfhearted, or stagnant christians. the crux of it all is why we are this way, and it is because we have an inaccurate view of God. we see Him as a benevolent Being who is satisfied when people manage to fir Him into their lives in some small way. we forget that God never had an identity crisis. He knows that He's great and deserves to be the centre of our lives. Jesus came humbly as a servant, but he never begs us to give him some small part of ourselves. he commands everything from His followers...'
