Do you believe in God, but live as if He doesn’t exist? \u00a0That is the question that Craig Groeschel asks in his newest book, The Christian Atheist<\/a>. \u00a0I am a huge fan of Groeschel and have read two of his previous books, Chazown<\/a> and It<\/a>. \u00a0The Christian Atheist really challenged me. \u00a0I had the privilege of reading this book in one sitting and would recommend that for anyone that has a few hours to really dig in.<\/p>\n

I usually highlight a lot and have a lot of phrases to post in my reviews. \u00a0This time I read without my highlighter instead trying to really open my heart and mind to what the Lord was wanting to show me in these pages. \u00a0The Table of Contents was enough to let me know that this book was going to give me a lot to munch on.<\/p>\n
