Just a great read on what it really means to love. It's the first book that I've ever bought several copies of in order to give them away. I can’t say enough about “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan.

I am stoked to learn from what you have learned! I remember at the end of 07 or 08? that you made some great notes of your book takeaways available to us! That was awesome. I look forward to reading your takeaways again if I can get a hold of them! I share your passion for LEARNING and reading and am a fellow "readaholic". I also read both Axiom (Hybels) and Vintage Jesus (Driscoll) in '08 and agree that they are both awesome! Axiom is the perfect leadership book to read with only 5 minutes every day! My top 10 reads from 09 are: Good to Great - Jim Collins (yes, I know, I know, I just got around to reading that one this year...) The Truth About You - Marcus Buckingham The Secret Message of Jesus - Brian McLaren The Rest of God - Mark Buchanan Think Orange - Reggie Joiner The Pleasures of God - John Piper Choosing to Cheat - Andy Stanley Jesus Wants to Save Christians - Rob Bell Crazy Love - Francis Chan and the 1st fiction book I have read since I was 12 makes the list too! = Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone - J.K. Rowling *Really pumped to see your 2010 reading list! I've been working on mine for a few weeks & waiting to see if I should add any from yours... Thanks Jeff!
