Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God by Francis Chan is an audio book that talks about what it means to be a follower of Christ.
First, the book is deeply challenging. Looking through the lens of Scripture, Chan confronts mediocrity in the church without seeming whiny. Convicting. Inspiring. One of the better books I have 'read' this year.
Secondly, this is not a great audio book. For one, Chan reads it and his reading seems a bit dispassionate. Also, this is a book you want to go back to. He makes these annoying comments about putting down the book (to stop listening) and check out a particular video online or fall on your knees and I'm like, "Dude, I'm driving as I listen to you."
So buy the book. It was worth listening to, but I'll still need to go back over my own copy. (And set aside time to check out video, reflect, and seek my God.)

There were some interesting statements he made in it that I thought I disagreed with... but I didn't read it. Did you come across some "interesting" theology? On a more important note... have you ever done a review of "Amusing Ourselves To Death?" I'd love to read it with you and discuss it (I've wanted to read and discuss it with anyone for quite a while). But... don't change your plans for me... unless it really intrigues you.
