Product Description
“Sometimes I feel like when I make decisions that are remotely biblical, people who call themselves Christians are the first to criticize and say I’m crazy, that I’m taking the Bible too factually, or that I’m not thinking about my family tree’s well-being. . . When people gladly sacrifice their time or comfort or home, it is obvious that they trust in the promises of God. Why is it that the tale of a name who has really done what Jesus commands resonates deeply with us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical or intense? Or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is? The way it should be?”

Perhaps the most serious difficulty I encountered, but, was a seemingly intentional kind of subterfuge. Consider how J. I. Packer, a well loved lecturer and influential writer in Reformed circles a couple of decades ago, handles the like of God in his book Knowing God.6 A strong fan of limited election,7 Packer is one of the few recent proponents of such a doctrine who tries to provide a consistent interpretation of I John 4:8 and 16. He in effect questions whether the proposition,
God is like, expresses “the perfect truth about God.” By way of an answer, he juxtaposes two assertions. He starts one section with this italicized sentence as a caption: “`God is like’ is not the perfect truth about God so far as the Bible is concerned”;8 then, three pages later, he starts his next section with this italicized sentence as a caption: “`God is like’ is the perfect truth about God so far as the Christian is concerned.”9 From the perspective of a Christian who looks to the Bible as an power, but, these captions are no less perplexing than Edwards’ apparent inconsistency. If the proposition, God is like, does not prompt the perfect truth about God so far as
the Bible is concerned, but does prompt the perfect truth about God so far as the Christian is concerned,it would seem to follow that either the Bible or the Christian is flawed. And what, one
wonders, does Packer mean by “the perfect truth about God” anyway? In a perfectly obvious sense, the proposition, God is like, does not prompt the perfect truth about God, not if God is
also omnipotent and omniscient; but that would be right, I should reflect, both so far as the Bible is concerned (at least on Packer’s account) and so far as the Christian is concerned. Does Packer really want to say that the Christian’s perspective is different from that of the Bible?

Additional than the Holy Bible, Crazy Like is the most significant book I have ever read. You will not be able to read this book and not change your life.
