Francis Chan is one of the more intriguing preachers I've come across, mostly due to the fact that he doesn't easily fit into the normal theological 'camps' of others... though he does confess 'I tend to take the reformed position on things.' The huge thing that comes from everything Francis Chan speaks and writes is: AUTHENTICITY. Let's be ruthlessly real in everything. So much so that when his profile got too high at the Church he founded he quit. He also happens to minister just down the road from Hollywood, and has a fantastic creative style along with sound, challenging and captivating Theology.
Here are some of the highlights from Chan's Ministry:

Also, his first book Crazy Love is worth reading; I've known Christians who barely read anything who've loved this book. It's not a heavy 'read' but the challenges are soul-deep. Here's the Amazon link:
