The Christian Atheist

Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn't Exist. The Christian Atheist by recovering Christian atheist Craig Groeschel is an honest look into the ways people believe in God but live as if he doesn’t exist. From his own past lapses in faith to the painful self-admission he had to make as an established pastor, Groeschel’s journey will engage you and challenge you into a deeper, Christ-filled life.

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

A decade into his successful ministry, Pastor Craig Groeschel realized a painful self-discovery: although he believed in God, he was leading his church as if God didn't exist.

To Christians and non-Christians alike, 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 your own life.

Now the founding and senior pastor of the multi-campus, pace-setting Life.Church, Groeschel's personal journey will help you break down your own barriers between belief and an authentic God-honoring life. He'll guide you to believe in God and believe in His power to help you:

• Let go of the shame of your past

• Embrace His profound love for you

• Believe in the power of prayer

• Give up control when life doesn't seem fair

• Trust Him with your anxious thoughts

• and more!

This book is an invitation for anyone courageous enough to admit their hypocrisy, get honest with God, shed the self-sufficiency, and live a life that truly brings glory to Christ.
