I bought some books today so I would have lots of reading material for the beach next week.  Here’s the description of one:

Chan writes with infectious exuberance, challenging Christians to take the Bible seriously. He describes at length the sorry state of lukewarm Christians who strive for a life characterized by control, safety and an absence of suffering. In stark contrast, the book offers real-life accounts of believers who have given all—time, money, health, even their lives—in obedience to Christ’s call.  Chan also recounts his own attempts to live crazy by significantly downsizing his home and giving away his resources to the poor.

Like I said I just bought this book to take to the beach with me…on my week long vacation….where I’ll lay around like a bum and stuff my face all week. 

I think this might be the definition of ironic.  Well at least I’ll be reading about poor people.  Sorry…feeling a little pessimistic today.
