We do need the help of God in order to live fully committed lives.Pages are very good, in fact. But I was and I still am. Perhaps it is my visceral reaction against hell-fire and brimstone preaching that causes me to dislike the book so much. Needless to say, I was unimpressed and disappointed with most of Crazy Love. It was NOT what I expected. What I got was a book about how completely horrible I am and that God is very angry with me and it is crazy that he would love such a punk.But, despite my initial and prevailing thoughts, there was some good in the book, and to that good, I now turn. The better parts of Crazy Love The best part of the whole book is, without a doubt, chapter 9 and the second best part is chapter  Chapter 8 was also mostly good, and chapter 1 has some great things to say.Chapter 9: This chapter contains a number of true stories, stories of people who lived or are living their lives in complete surrender to God. The stories inspire, they contain beauty, and they demonstrate the wonderful variety of ways people might give their lives fully to Christ. Chapter This is the second-best chapter.It does a descent job of communicating the fact that each of us will have our own story to live, our own calling to follow, our own choices to make.And that when one lives a life of love, it changes everything. Chapter 9 and 10 were more of what I expected. Chapter 8 is where the book stopped being so horrible. Page contains a quote from Frederick Buechner. However, the chapter was still not great, overall. Chapter 1: The best part of this chapter is the reminder to notice to whom we pray. God is wonderful, huge, creative. God has made an intricate, delicate, breathtaking world in which we live.We should remember this before we pray; stand in awe of the creator. But, again, there were some problems with this chapter. Chan overemphasizes fearing God, that God is about punishment, that Jesus was beat up and killed because God is so upset with me, etc.So What? I, personally, would never recommend this book to anyone. It seems that Chan is trying to shake up lazy Christians. That is a good thing. We need to be honest about our lives. Too many of us are caught up in materialism, safety, etc.Too many of us, to many churches, are asleep, and we need to wake up. Both of these superior books aim at similar thing as Crazy Love: to wake up a sleeping church.But Claiborne and Labberton both do it in much better, much more compelling ways. And for a book that communicates, in a powerful way, the crazy love that God has for us mortals, I highly recommend The Shack by William P. It does a wonderful job of painting a picture of God as he truly is: Love. Allow me to end with this, my own words to you: God is crazy in love with you. You make him happy, just because you are you.God sings wonderful songs because of and to you. He weeps with you when you cry, he laughs with you when you laugh, he enjoys watching you smile even if your mouth is mis-formed or your teeth are missing. God desires you. You see, God IS love — it is his very nature. And you, you are the Beloved of God. You are the object of his affection.Allow that crazy love that God has for you to fill you up and empower everything there is about you. May you, filled with the love of God, become more fully human, more fully you. And see yourself in the same light: you, despite whatever shortcomings, failings, or horrific things there are in your life, you are loved by the creator of the universe — God likes you and wants you. You are loved. View all 17 comments. Jan 14, Katie rated it it was amazing.Totally whooped my tail. Probably THE most convicting spiritual book I've ever read. Challenges you out of any luke-warm tendencies. Challenges you especially in the realm of giving financially and sacrificially. Really, really good - prepare to be challenged out of your mind. View 2 comments. Oct 15, Bradley rated it really liked it.Just flip through the ratings on this book. It looks like that there are about two possible reactions for a devout Christian to this book. For me, all through high school, theology was my god. God's love, God's grace, and God's compassion didn't register for me. I "saved myself" by knowing how to refute consubstantiation and by knowing what year the Council of Chalcedon was.I could argue with the abs Just flip through the ratings on this book. I could argue with the absolute best about predestination infant baptism. But it was all shallow, and it was all empty. The 18 inches between the head and the heart are some of the longest in the world. Forget love; it never really struck me that the infinite creator of all the world actually liked me.A lot of things have changed for me in the last few years. I struggled deeply with suicidal depression and I nearly lost. I was a broken individual let down by my church, my friends, and most especially myself. I could say the words "Jesus loved me" over and over again, providing verse after verse to prove it, but in my heart, I believed God didn't like me one bit.God reached me in the darkest stage of my life, and today I'm the happiest man in the world. I'm not going to say that this book changed my life forever and ever and therefore you need to read it and love it. But God used Francis Chan in my life to make me ask questions that I wouldn't have asked otherwise. I realized that I couldn't put God in a box. I guess, if I have a point, I said all of that to say this: I know as well as anyone else that the theology here is kinda suspect.I understand that there's a lot more emotional arguments than rational arguments. But you know what? I'm not sure that that matters too much. Is theology very important? Should you hammer Chan for misinterpreting some verses, making a few stretches, and throw out the challenge that the book offers?I think that that's a cop-out. Chan isn't saying that everyone needs to sell everything and live in a van or a commune or something.But you need to be willing to. At least, that's what Jesus told the rich man in Matthew  OK, so not all of the stories make sense. Pulling out all of your teeth is over the top. Got it. But maybe putting your head and your logic above your love for God is dangerous. And I can hear you know. Well, if you're damned sure about that, fine, then the book wasn't written for you. But it helps a lot of people who need to hear what this book has to say.Lukewarmness is a problem in the church today, and Chan's message, whether you deem is intellectual enough for you or not, is something that the church today has to hear. So many people have missed the point of this book in the reviews. It isn't about condemning people to Hell and it doesn't boil you down to how many people you saved. It does the opposite. It frees you up to live you life with a true sense of passion and purpose.Augustine one time said "Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, and mind, and then do what you want. Chan understands this. I don't believe Chan wants you to move to Ethiopia. But if that's what it takes for you to love God back, so be it.As for condemning people to Hell, it does ask everyone to seriously contemplate their faith. Matthew 7: still exists, even if we don't like it. Those are to me some of the scariest verses in the bible, and it's important to discuss it openly. But as opposed to condemnation, you can approach those verses with the understanding that Jesus both likes you and loves you more than you can possibly imagine and that his grace is stronger than you can imagine.This book isn't without its faults. Two friends of mine that I think very highly of gave this book a one-star rating, and I'm sure that they weren't just plugging their ears to reject the premise. They aren't luke-warm. After all, theology is still very important. We don't need to "please God" like the book seems to imply. Christ's righteousness is enough for us, which is great because our righteousness is as dirty rags to him anyways Isaiah  This may not be the best book for a recent convert because of the theology.It could be possible to incorrectly get the idea of works based salvation from this book. However, this book helped breath new life into my relationship with God.It restored my perspective on love and liking not only between Jesus and me, but also between me and my community. This book powerfully delivers a message that the American church needs to hear. Jul 09, Maureen rated it really liked it.This book really challenged me a lot - I'm gonna have to change some things after reading it! I really like Francis Chan's style of writing and how personable his narration seems. Really really great! View 1 comment. Jul 22, Tim Yearneau rated it did not like it. I have to be honest, I disliked this book. I respect what Chan tries to accomplish and for the choices he has personally made, but I disagree with him wholesale on many levels. The theme is very Catholic in nature; I deserve nothing, I am not worthy, I must constantly suffer, accomplishing personal goals and dreams are only a manifestation of greed and selfishness.Guilt, guilt, guilt. Ok, fine, I admit it; I am a former Catholic. I applaud him for walking the talk; downsizing his house, taking I have to be honest, I disliked this book. I applaud him for walking the talk; downsizing his house, taking the same salary as when he first started, choosing a much smaller footprint for church expansion, etc. But dreams and goals come from God to begin with.So why are they bad? I don't agree we should all downsize and live at the same economic level to eradicate poverty. Redistribution of wealth has been tried and it doesn't work, i. I don't think it's a requirement to demean ourselves and jump on the sword in order to help our fellow man. I offer the Parable of the Talents.In it the Master rewards the servants who not only used their talents, but multiplied them. He punished the servant who played conservative and didn't use the talents given him. I offer Doctors Without Borders as an example. They work hard to develop their talents and gain personally from those talents, but choose to share their talents, while at the same time not demeaning themselves.Chan promotes a radical philosophy that says "you downsize so others can upsize. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact, it is admirable. However, he ignores that Paul also stated it shouldn't be a case of now the other person has is easy while you suffer.Chan further points to a singular verse in the Bible where it says to sell all of your possessions and give to the poor as being the singular Truth we should all live by. His example of this Truth in action is of the guy at his church, upon hearing the Truth, donated his house to the church and moved in with his parents, stating it didn't matter where he lived as long as he has a house in Heaven.While this is noble, it says God is finite. Everything I have read or heard says God is infinite. God's ability to provide isn't like a pie, where there are only eight slices, and if you have two slices someone else gets none. My other problem with Chan's singular Truth is it focuses on one line, " In that passage, Matthew , Jesus prefaces his answer to the rich man by saying "If you want to be perfect Jesus looked at them intently and said, 'Humanly speaking, it is impossible.But with God everything is possible. For example, perhaps Jesus is reminding us that as humans we think and operate in terms of limits, and God does not. Personally, I'm focusing on "'But with God everything is possible. He gets dogmatic in that he tends to focuse on one line in a passage without considering the whole context. The way Chan presents it, success is evil.I contend that dreams and goals are not bad, they're good. For example, Milton Hershey didn't skimp on his dreams and goals, yet gave away his fortune for the greater good. Every Tech Ed program in America can thank him for that. I contend that opportunity eradicates poverty Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Chuck Feeney, and Abraham Flexner are modern day examples of those, like Hershey, who multiplied their talents in the spirit of the Parable of the Talents, and gave back to society.We should share our skills, talents, and abundance, but I don't think it's a requirement that we tear ourselves down to do it. Thanks for listening. Apr 23, Tom rated it did not like it Shelves: theology-accessible.I'll admit up front that I went into this book with a bias. I've seen Chan give talks and read one of his other books. Something has itched at me about him. This book helps me understand why I have been bugged, but I don't think it's fair for me to speculate too much in public.I'll just say that I understand now why he chose to leave his church, seemingly sell his family's possessions and "follow the Spirit" wherever. I don't think he could have published this book with a straight face unless h I'll admit up front that I went into this book with a bias. I don't think he could have published this book with a straight face unless he eventually did so. I'll just say that this book is really one chapter, one sermon, stretched into pages through a saturation of scripture quotes not a bad thing and repetition.My theological take is that Chan knows only the law not the Gospel and, ironically for a Pentecostal, does not seem to trust the Holy Spirit to produce fruit, seen and unseen, in the lives of those who hear the Word in faith. Chan's "gospel" is a new and higher form of the law love and nearly entirely misunderstands grace, faith, and baptism.He will acknowledge salvation by faith alone, but the entire message of the book is salvation by love alone, as evidenced by a very particular experience of God, personal righteousness, and works of the law. It is a strange thing to speak against love, but in our present reality where the old Adam hangs around our necks even as we are new in Christ, we live by faith, not sight, not love, not feelings. Love is wonderful when you feel it, but it is fleeting, it is not primary and it is not justifying.Instead of the authentic paradox of a sinner-saint like the father in Mark 9, "Lord I believe, help my unbelief," Chan sees things in black and white. You are "all-in" or "all-out. Martin Luther's Heidelburg Disputation includes, "The law says, 'Do this' and it is never done; grace says, 'believe this,' and behold everything is already done.Love is only love when it doesn't score points.

      Walk up to the door, face against it as close as possible, and click or cast an enlargening illusion, then walk forwards through the door. By growing larger, your character's hitbox expands into the actual door, which then allows you to just walk forwards through it. This is a safety mechanism to prevent players from generally being stuck in the game world.If you are already a large race and can't get an illusion that makes you even larger, use an illusion that makes you smaller. For example, an Ogre could use a Gnome or Skeleton illusion.Next, move up closely against the door, facing it. Now remove the illusion so that you grow into a large Ogre once again, and you will be able to walk through the door. If you have no illusion items or spells, you can use a spell, potion or item with the Shrink spell. Shamans and Beastlords can cast this innately, but many other clickies or potions exist.Shrink and walk up to the door. Now camp and re-enter the game. All shrink effects are removed upon logging in, making you back to your original size and allowing you to walk through the door. You can also use the Shaman Grow spell to achieve the effect.A very handy illusion clickie that works for most races is Amulet of Necropotence , which is instant-cast. Any key that does not appear on this list is not technically a key, even though its name and icon may indicate so. Examples of such items are Tarnished Bronze Key used in a quest , Clockwork Key , and the shackle keys from Crushbone, such as Shackle Key 18 , also used in quests.You can only get skillups on successful picks. In other words, if you find a lock that you can't pick, forget about it. You can't open it and you can't get skillups on it. You get the skill at 6. When you train your first point in it, you will have a skill of 6. However, the lowest skill lock in the game is  You can't get any skillups on any locks until you train enough points to get your skill to 11, so that you can pick a lock. The part I haven't verified is that there are no locks lower than 11 skill, which you could use for skillups instead of using training points.The doors in Befallen are 11 skill. Once you've trained up to 11, you can max your skill on that door or any other lock that you are high enough to pick because they never trivial out. Plane of Tranquility. Samusk Hariij in the east end of the south vendor building has them also. Lockpicks are also for sale in Ak'Anon in the rogue guild.A clockwork merchant sells them. Expansion List - Premium only.

Adopted cousin three times removed from my great-great uncle's side. And her name is Ponila. Ponila Quickfingers. Mechanized picks While all of this is good, you might be better served with mechanized lockpicks.Your best bet is to look in the bazaar, if you don't see any for sale, look for someone selling other tinkered items, and ask them to make some for you. Excellent, thank you all very much. I got my picks, sat at the hole for a short while and now my sneak, hide and lock pick skills are over 90! If the Befallen lock isn't working for you, try the one in Plane of Tranquility - it's the globe on the table where you zone in from Plane of Knowledge.Borek-VS , May 18,  Quatr likes this. You have to find an object that works as a locked door; Befallen has several of them, Najena has quite a few, and the most popular one is the book on the table in the zone in building of the Plane of Tranquility I think that it is now open at level 1 but that may just be Time via the Emissary of Druzil Ro.Plane of Tranquility has no level requirement any more, and the book on the table at the zone in, is the way to go. Most people max out even from in 15minutes or less, as there no delay, like doors have on opening, then reclosing.Just spam click the book. The problem in befallen, sounds like you may have been too far or bad angle, but usually you get a can't reach that message instead of can't use that skill. The book in PoTranq is way better than any other old world lock, that takes forever above skill to skill up on.
