About book The Christian Atheist: Believing In God But Living As If He Doesn't Exist (2010)
We did a six week church wide alignment series that included reading this book, participating in a small group, and the Sunday morning sermons aligned to topics from the book. This was the first book I have read from Craig and I found it to be truthful and in the face. Craig covers a variety of topics related to modern day Christianity that challenges you to think about do you really believe in God based on the way you live. He does that using this catchy two word phrase "Christian Atheist". I found myself challenged as a believer reading this book. There are several areas of my faith I struggle with and Criag pointed those out while personally sharing his testimony of his faith in God. Overall I found this a great spiritual season for me reading this book. The alignment series with my church made it even more fruitful.I would recommend this book for anyone looking to go deeper in their faith as a Christian. Craig offers words of encouragement and support to help you in areas of struggle. Book is best done as a small group to allow you to share with other believery. Mr. Groeschel (pronounced Grow-shell to those that truly know him) writes a bold book that exposes the disbelief in belief. Each chapter works by the same structure, where Groeschel speaks on behalf of another tenet of Christianity that many Christians fail to actually practice. The grand theme through all of the chapters, however, is understanding that God is much greater than we could imagine, and that no earthly thing is too big for Him to conquer. And Groeschel understandably pounds that point into the reader's head, since it is a point forgotten too easily. Repetitive, but convicting and excellent book.
