The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn't Exist
The Christian Atheist Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn't Exist Author:Craig Groeschel 'The more I looked, the more I found Christian Atheists everywhere.' Former Christian Atheist Craig Groeschel knows his subject all too well. After over a decade of successful ministry, he had to make a painful self admission: although he believed in God, he was leading his church like God didn't exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, ... more »to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschel's admission and the journey that follows---from his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encountered---will look and sound like the story of their own lives. Now the founding and senior pastor of the multicampus, pace-setting LifeChurch.tv, Groeschel's personal journey toward a more authentic God-honoring life is more relevant than ever. Christians and Christian Atheists everywhere will be nodding their heads as they are challenged to take their own honest moment and ask the question: am I putting my whole faith in God but still living as if everything was up to me?« less
Very good read. He is very up to speed with how the heavy heart of those who believe in Christianity but are stuck in the materialist world of our every day society.
I thought this was very well done. It is about how many times people who claim Christianity tend to not really live it. They believe in God but live life as Atheists do, as if they don't really believe at all. There were many different issues of what our lives are like to reflect "Christian Atheism" - from how we worry, from our lack of forgiveness, the things we choose in life that are plainly known as worldly and sinful, our lack of involvement in church, etc. I really enjoyed learning about how the many people Craig Groeschel knows were able to change or not change their lives from "Christian Atheism". Also he was very honest in using himself as an example of failing to live as a real Christian and how he needed many transformations. Well done.
