I've been slacking on my leisurely reading lately, but one of the books I'm currently reading is Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I bought this book and read half of it a few years ago (whenever it came out) because I heard several of his sermons when I was in Atlanta and immediately became obsessed. I'm not too crazy about his books; his one is so tiny I felt silly for not finishing it, and it does have some excellent points. So ponder this:
"The critical question for our generation—and for every generation—is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there?"
– John Piper, God is the Gospel, p. 15. (Referenced in Francis Chan’s Crazy Love, p. 100.)
