Summary

Are you putting your whole faith in God but still living as if everything is up to you?

You may believe in God, attend church, and generally treat people with kindness…but are you living as if God doesn't exist? Have you surrendered to God completely, living every day depending upon the Holy Spirit?

Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel will lead you on a personal journey toward an authentic, God-honoring life. This honest, hard-hitting, and eye-opening look into the ways people believe in God but live as if he doesn't exist is a classic of discipleship training. Groeschel's personal journey will help you break down your own barriers between simple belief and a more intentional faith.

This book will help you:

  • Let go of the shame of your past and know that you’re forgiven.
  • Embrace Christ’s profound love for you.
  • Believe in the power of prayer.
  • Give up control when life doesn't seem fair.
  • Trust God with all your anxious thoughts, heartache, struggles, and pain.

From the author of Winning the War in Your Mind, The Christian Atheist is a rallying cry to get honest with God, shed the self-sufficiency and the hypocrisy, and live a life that truly brings glory to Christ.

A book best listened to, not just heard.

It might catch your attention straight away, or it may take a little while to get in to the book properly, but Groeschel puts into word what many Christians need to know. Particularly recommended for those who read the blurb and think 'This doesn't relate to me, I'm fine. I'm not a cultural christian.'

Also a great book for agnostics and atheists who hold a lot of resentful anger or confusion because of the hypocrisy demonstrated across the 'Christian' community world-over.

This guy talks a lot of truth in a subject area where truth can be surprisingly hard to come by.

Brought to tears

A great story on how to be a better Christian. And welcoming if you’re just starting out being one. Also a great performance by the narrator.

a must read for all Christians

Craig sets out in his book. To show us some gently how we are falling ways Christians today show the failings of the church and how not just the failings and the shortcomings, but how we can change them and how we can move forward in that. Is a real blessing and I pray that God blesses his family and his church abundantly?

Gutlevel honesty where one doesnt expect...

Intresting and funny tone in pastor Craig Groeschels journey to real faith- and different levels of being an Christian atheist on a spektrum... With unpredictable and gutlevel honesty funny exemples Craig explains his aversions of Christian experiences as well as lot of battles with the " inner Christian atheist."... The relaxed tone paints a very safe space...Its healing for my nerves in many ways ... But chapter hell and evangelism was very sterotype unfirtunately. Some old traumas from fanatics kicked in...The part about volunteerwork is a mystery..How can churchvolunteers find abondoned children with maggots and no details about they having to go in therapy? it was a bit too stomach strong for me ...I receive the first chapters best- and also last chapter 14 ...To really reflect on the deeper meaning of what does it realky mean to be a true Christian? ...Most content is challenging for me in a good way...
