The Christian Atheist

Prasie

The thing I’ve always appreciated about Craig is his willingness to be honest when his life doesn’t match up with the Scriptures. Too many people are quick to make excuses for themselves and others who call themselves “Christian.” Craig challenges us to think deeply, honestly, and fearfully about how our lives may be contradicting our message.

—FRANCIS CHAN, pastor and author, Crazy Love

In The Christian Atheist, Craig leverages transparency to force the rest of us to take an honest look at the contrast between how we live and what we claim to believe. Craig’s vulnerability, coupled with his fresh insights, will move you to begin realigning behavior with beliefs.

Craig Groeschel is a brilliant communicator and a gift to the church worldwide. He has a way of saying the things we are all thinking with an approachable authority that resonates with the ups and downs of our daily walk with God. Craig’s genuine heart to see your life’s journey flourish, and his honest perspective on personal experiences, will quietly convict your heart and encourage your soul.

—BRIAN HOUSTON, senior pastor, Hillsong Church

Church people always talk about Christians and non-Christians, but nobody ever talks about the people in-between. Most of the men and women I talk to every day fall into that middle ground, the group that believes in God but lives like he’s not there, doesn’t care, or doesn’t matter. In The Christian Atheist, Pastor Craig Groeschel hits this audience head-on, opening up about his own doubts and fears, while setting the table for hundreds of life-changing discussions about who God is and how he operates.

There are too many Christian Atheists in the church today, and through this book, Craig Groeschel challenges the genuineness of faith in the life of the self-proclaimed believer. The Christian Atheist will cause you to move from head knowledge to heart knowledge. This is a must-read for every Christian.

—JENTEZEN FRANKLIN, senior pastor, Free Chapel, New York Times bestselling author of Fasting

Craig’s insights and candor combine to make this book a true gift to “atheists” of all kinds!

—BILL HYBELS, senior pastor, Willow Creek Community Church, and chairman of the board, Willow Creek Association

The Christian Atheist will challenge you, push you, and disturb you. It will redefine your sense of purpose and focus as a Christian. Every Christian today needs to read this book. Craig’s gut-level honesty is refreshing and will help move you toward a life that is fully devoted to Christ. Too many of us live lives that don’t truly reflect who we are as followers of Christ. But the good news is we can change. True Christianity awaits us. And Craig provides a practical prescription for how to get there.
