“Manny Arango doesn’t pull punches in Crushing Chaos, and that’s exactly why you need it. You’ll laugh, you’ll grow, and you’ll be glad you picked this book up.”—Travis and Jackie Greene, lead pastors of Forward City Church, South Carolina

There is chaos in your life, probably more than you bargained for. But rest assured that the God of the Bible is neither intimidated nor stumped by your chaos. He knows exactly how to conquer it and create order in your life. The story of the Bible centers on God’s work of bringing form and function to the messes we humans make. In fact, His solution for the Chaos found in Genesis wasn’t to automatically provide peace—it was to establish order. And for good reason.

In Crushing Chaos, pastor and self-proclaimed Bible nerd Manny Arango unfolds the ways that God faithfully, lovingly does just that, showing you how to conquer the chaos you’ve carried with you for far too long and restoring passion and purpose to your life. You’ll discover how a path of surrender and self-sacrifice can lead you from a place of turmoil and confusion to a place of hope and peace. The answer is in saying “yes” to a radically reordered life.

Amid the life and ministry, suffering and death, and triumphant resurrection of Jesus, we encounter the methods behind his mission (hint: they took pretty much everyone by surprise) to bring His people back to life in the Garden of New Creation, which we were originally intended—and are still destined—to call home.

The One who triumphed over chaos once and for all wants to bring you out of the confusion of this broken world and into a divinely ordered life. Embark on this journey you were always meant to take and have joy fill your heart and hope flourish in your soul.
