Marriage is great, but it's not forever. It's until death do us part. Then come eternal rewards or regrets depending on how we spent our lives. In his latest book, Francis Chan joins together with his wife Lisa to address the question many couples wonder at the altar: How do I have a healthy marriage? Setting aside typical topics on marriage, Francis and Lisa dive into Scripture to understand what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest parts of our souls. In the same way Crazy Love changed the way we saw our personal relationship with God, You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will radically shift the way we see one of the most important relationships in our life. Jesus was right. We have it all backwards. The way to have a great marriage is by not focusing on marriage. Whether you are single, dating or married, You and Me Forever will help you discover the adventure that you were made for and learn how to thrive in it. 100% of the net profits from You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will go towards providing food, shelter and rehabilitation for thousands of orphaned children and exploited women in partnership with global charities.
Revised & Updated Edition God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. 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.
A Spanish edition of the New York Times bestseller that dares us to experience God's crazy, relentless, all-powerful love--and then respond with radical, sacrificial love towards others.
Dieu est amour. Un amour fou, irrésistible, bouleversant. Quelque chose ne colle pas. C est fou quand on y pense? : le Dieu de l’univers le Créateur de l’azote et des pommes de pin, des galaxies et de l’ADN nous aime d un amour irrésistible et inconditionnel ! Et nous... nous répondons à cet amour en allant régulièrement à l église, en chantant, en priant, et en faisant notre possible pour être des gens bien. L inadéquation de notre réponse saute aux yeux. Ne ressentez-vous pas le besoin, au plus profond de vous-même, de vivre plus ? N avez-vous pas soif d expérimenter une foi authentique qui apporte des réponses tangibles, radicales, aux problèmes de nos contemporains ? Dieu nous destine à une relation d amour passionnée. Nous ne venons jamais à bout de la tiédeur spirituelle en appliquant une liste de choses à faire ou à ne pas faire. Non. La tiédeur capitule quand nous tombons éperdument amoureux de Dieu. Quand on aime à la folie, plus rien n’est comme avant.
Den Heiligen Geist neu entdecken
Eigentlich gehört die Hölle abgeschafft. Zumindest, wenn es nach Meinung der meisten Menschen geht. Darf ein so schrecklicher Ort überhaupt existieren? Wie kann ein liebender Gott Menschen auf ewig dorthin verbannen? Und haben die Verstoßenen nach ihrem Tod noch eine letzte Chance auf den Himmel? Meinungen zur Hölle gibt es viele. Doch entscheidend ist, was Gott selbst dazu sagt. Dabei geht es nicht um theologische Spitzfindigkeiten. Sondern um Gottes Charakter und seine Liebe zu den Menschen. Wie passen ein liebender Gott und ewige Verdammnis zusammen? Tauchen Sie ein in die biblischen Wahrheiten. Wir können es uns nicht leisten, falsch zu liegen. Zu viel steht auf dem Spiel.
