		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was driving home from visiting a friend in the hospital in Detroit. On my radio a deejay was talking about her friend, a young mother of several children, who was struggling with cancer. Then she mentioned an eight year old boy also fighting cancer. Through tears she asked for prayers for these [...]

Tonight my wife and I sat down at the kitchen table and took one another by the hands, and we [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A church leader in England says, &#8220;I do not want to exercise [an attitude of] indulgence towards my Church. I am ashamed of it and angry at it. I want to kick it into getting up.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Someone recently asked my opinion on what happens to those who commit suicide.  Will they &#8220;go to hell?&#8221;
Before I give my take on this, I must start off by saying that no one but God has any business saying who goes to hell and who doesn&#8217;t.  It&#8217;s not the church&#8217;s job, or any pastor or [...]

I came late to Francis Chan&#8217;s Crazy Love party.  I heard about it a couple of years ago, and more and more people I love and respect were beginning to talk about it.  Which is why I have been hesitant to be in the least critical of the book.
