I believe that there are three essential questions every living human being wants to find the answer to. #1) Who is God? #2.) How does He see me, and #3.) What in the world does He expect or want of me?

As people we will struggle to learn the answer to these three questions all of our lives. In fact; they are questions that we must find the answers to.

In Gary Chiles book; Crazy in Love, he not only addresses these three questions, he answers them! And he does so in a remarkably clear, concise and delightful fashion.

I believe this book is essential reading not only for the new Christian, to help them in their new walk with the Lord, but also for the older Christian who’s walk with Christ always seems to leave them just a little short of finding the peace and the abundant life that the Lord Jesus promised.

What a great book Gary; Bravo!

As people find themselves on a continual quest to discover what it means to be loved, valued, and accepted, Gary leads them to the ultimate source for all three—the intimate heart of God. Having known Gary for many years, the message of this book is the driving passion in Gary’s life and as you embark on the journey of understanding that you were created for love, you will experience the reality that God has captured your heart and that you have captured His. Enjoy getting to know your “Bridegroom King”. It’s a journey worth taking.

It was a privilege for me to share Crazy in Love with our staff at Youth With A Mission Northwoods. I couldn’t wait ‘til it was published to share it with them. We all enjoyed the nuggets of truth that we gleaned as we read together. Gary’s writing and lifestyle have been an inspiration to me. The chapter titles, “First Things First”, “The Chase is On”, “Will You Marry Me”, “Is God Enough”, “Resting in Love” are each a thought for the day in themselves. They have the potential to realign you with God’s intentions for your life. The way Gary shares about intimacy with Christ makes it something to be grasped rather than just a pie in the sky idea. You will be challenged and magnetized into the heart of God as you read this book.

When I first heard the message of intimacy, it made my heart burn with desire to learn more.  My spirit soared because I was so touched and powerfully impacted.  It just really clicked.  I felt like a giddy teenager “in love” for the first time.  But I was so excited and hungry for intimacy that it frustrated me to learn that it is a process.  I wanted intimacy so much and I wanted it NOW.  I just couldn’t wait to be “filled.”  I didn’t know how hungry and thirsty I was until I heard the truth about intimacy with Jesus as my Bridegroom.  It seemed too good to be true that God wanted ME.  I had been taught that God loved me, but I had perceived it to be in a way that a parent loves – you love your kid just because it’s your kid.  I thought God loved me because He had to, just because I was His child.  Even believing God had that kind of love was a long time coming to me.  I grew up thinking that He was watching me from a distance, waiting for me to mess up so He could punish me and put me back in my place.  So, to believe that God wanted to be intimate with me was almost unthinkable.  

Learning that I was created for intimacy with Jesus has changed the way I relate to Him, and now I long to be with Him all the time.  My relationship with Him has become very personal and my love for Him grows stronger every day.
