Craig Groeschel’s The Christian Atheist Review

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 | Book Reviews

Do you believe in God? This question may be answered with different responses, but most often it will be answered with eaither a yes or no.

Perhaps you believe in a God but have a hard time committing your life to him. Regardless of your religious affiliations, most believers will find the following question a little harder to answer:

Do you live your life with your faith truly invested in God?

Craig Groeschel’s book, The Christian Atheist, encourages us to live in a manner that honors God.

When I first came across this book the title caught my eye on being so contradictory.

However, after reading just a few pages, I began to understand what Groeschel meant by the term “Christian atheist.”

A Christian atheist is one who believes in God, yet continues to live life according to their own terms.

I felt that this claim was rather poignant when looking at today’s society as many people claim to be Christian, yet seemingly follow their guidelines for living a successful life.

Even though Groeschel is a pastor , his book isn’t a ” preachy ” read, it’s more of a deep conversation with a close friend. I felt like it was easy to connect with Groeschel because throughout this book he is very open in admitting to his own failures in leading a church.

In my opinion, this heartfelt honesty made Groeschel come across as a real human being rather than an omnipresent author with all the answers.

To help readers better understand his point, Groschl divides his thought in different chapters to pinpoint different struggles that Christians face when it comes to trusting in God.

Even though you might sift through this book to find what’s in it for you, I encourage you to read it from cover to cover to receive the most benefit.

I thought The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel was awesome because it challenged me to truly live with Christ in my heart. His book is a really great tool in teaching you how to put God first in your everyday life. Take the challenge and read his book!
