Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

A follow up to the profound message of Crazy Love , Pastor Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives. In the name of the Father, the Son, and … the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church’s power—the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan’s invitation to stop and remember the One we’ve forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.

Personne ne savait vraiment ce que le tracteur pouvait faire. Les villageois aimaient leur gros tracteur rouge. Il les aidait à cultiver et à récolter juste assez de nourriture pour toute l'année. Mais il était difficile à utiliser et il ne fonctionnait pas très bien. Même si tout le monde s'y mettait pour le pousser et le tirer, on n'arrivait pas à faire grand-chose. Tout le monde pensait que c'était normal. Jusqu'à ce que David, le fermier, découvre un livre perdu depuis bien longtemps dans un grenier plein de poussière. Ce livre pourra-t-il changer quelque chose ? C'est ce que pense David le fermier. Mais les autres villageois n'en sont pas si sûrs... Le gros tracteur rouge et le petit village est une parabole contemporaine parlant d'une vérité intemporelle : Dieu a un plan spécial pour vous et vous pouvez l'accomplir avec l'aide de l'Esprit Saint. Une leçon puissante, merveilleusement racontée pour nos petits.
Manželstvo je skvelé, ale nebude trvať navždy. Kým nás smrť nerozdelí. Potom na rad prichádza večná odmena alebo smútok v závislosti od toho, ako prežijeme život. Francis Chan spolu s manželkou Lisou odpovedajú na otázky, ktoré si kladú mnohé manželské páry, keď stoja pred oltárom: "Čo robiť, aby som mal skvelé manželstvo?" Francis a Lisa sa nevenujú typickým manželským témam. Ponárajú sa do Písma, kde hľadajú uspokojivú odpoveď na otázku, čo znamená mať vzťah, ktorý uspokojí najhlbšie časti duše. Rovnako, ako kniha Bláznivá láska zmenila spôsob akým sa pozeráme na osobný vzťah s Bohom, kniha Ty a ja navždy bezpochyby zmení pohľad na jeden z najdôležitejších vzťahov v živote. Ježiš mal pravdu. My to chápeme opačne. Jediný spôsob, ako dosiahnuť šťastné manželstvo, je nesústrediť sa naň. Bez ohľadu na to, či si slobodný , zadaný, alebo ženatý, kniha Ty a ja navždy ti pomôže objaviť dobrodružstvo, pre ktoré si bol stvorený a naučiť sa, ako v ňom prospievať.
