About this listen
Respected pastor and Bible nerd Manny Arango reveals how the gospel empowers us to establish peace in our disordered lives by embracing God’s design for us to be agents of order in a chaotic world.
“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.

The whirlwind of chaos and confusion barreling toward you has likely caught you completely off guard. Maybe you're navigating a season of transition—a career shift, a major life adjustment, or just an unshakable sense of disorientation. When the things that once brought fulfillment no longer seem to work, when the familiar feels foreign, and when life feels like it's slipped out of your control, you're actually in the perfect position for God to lead you to greater heights.

Critic reviews
“Manny Arango doesn’t pull punches in Crushing Chaos, and that’s exactly why you need it. This book gets right to the point—your life doesn’t have to stay messy, but you’ve got to be ready to put in the work. Arango is honest, funny, and straight-up practical. He gives you real steps to crush the chaos and make room for God’s order in your life. 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
“Manny Arango is a masterful storyteller with the depth of a skilled theologian and the insight of a pastor. Crushing Chaos is a much-needed guide for navigating the turbulence that so often surrounds us. Arango doesn’t just diagnose the problem—he also leads you on a journey to rediscover the ancient rhythms of order God established from the very beginning. This book is raw, insightful, and filled with biblical truths that will challenge your thinking and transform your life. If you’re ready to confront chaos and step into God’s peace, Crushing Chaos is a must-read.”—Chris Durso, pastor at SoHo Bible Study and author of The Heist
“We’ve been in the chaos before—addiction, crumbling marriage, feeling ready to walk away. Crushing Chaos isn’t just another self-help book. Manny Arango brings deep biblical truth with the raw honesty of someone who’s walked through chaos. If you’re tired of surface fixes and ready for real transformation, Arango will guide you there. This book isn’t about escaping chaos—it’s about embracing the peace and order God designed for your life.”—Jimmy and Irene Rollins, authors of Two Equals One

We could all use a little—or a lot—of relief from the pressures of life. And there is no bigger relief than the grace of God. Think of grace as one-way love. A gift with no strings attached. Favor when you least expect or deserve it. Knowing that you don't have to do anything to earn God's approval.

When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing, scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it's not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words (logos) about God (theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives—our good, loving, and grace-filled God.

Story
The Bible is the world’s most influential book, but do we really know what it says? Every day across social media and in homes, businesses, and public spaces, people try to cut debate short by claiming that "the Bible says so!" However, they commonly disagree about what it actually does and doesn't say, particularly when it comes to socially significant issues. For instance, does the Bible say we should be on the lookout for an antichrist associated with the number 666? Does it say women shouldn’t wear revealing clothing? Does it say it’s okay to hit your kids?

In The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it. The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history—including the first murder, Cain's killing of his brother, Abel—and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.
