Pastor Craig Groeschel has a new book, The Christian Atheist. It comes out next week, today we're giving away 10 copies on the blog
Craig defines a Christian Atheist as "believing in God, but living as if He doesn't exist." Craig confesses that he is a recovering Christian Atheist and is very authentic in pulling several examples from his own struggles with Christian atheism and how to overcome it.
Andy Stanley said "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."
Here's a brief excerpt:
"As if on cue, when I was twenty-three, God opened a door for me to work at a historic downtown church. My dream-come-true slowly turned into a spiritual nightmare. What started out as a good thing quickly became an obsession. My service was never enough. And as my love for ministry burned hotter, my passion for Christ cooled.
My mission had become a job. Instead of studying God's Word out of personal devotion, I studied only to preach. Instead of preaching messages to bring glory to God, I preached to bring people to church. I promised hurting people I would pray for them, but I usually didn't follow through."
