In the first chapter of the book, he talks about the awe factor of God, which I believe is the main source of his faith and out of which comes his unique response to God's call in a radical way.

The awe factor of God
Recently I started reading (actually listening to the audio version of) Francis Chan's book "Crazy Love". Some people think that he's extreme and crazy, but he has strived to live his life according to God's call. One of the radical things he did is to leave the church he founded some 16 years ago without a clear plan of what's next. With a family of 6, the Chan's have been waiting for God's guidance of their next step. After a few months, they are now departing for Asia without knowing what they will do actually.

踏入新的一年，我們或多或少想有一些改變，或爲自己訂立一些新目標。以下是一般人常許的新年願望：多運動、多儲蓄或少花錢、戒煙或酒、多陪家人、培養新興趣等等。你有爲自己訂下甚麼新年願望或目標嗎？ 我自己也曾訂下一些有關生活、靈命、健康、進修、家庭及事奉等的目標。總的來...
