The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living as if He Doesn’t Exist

The Christian Atheist is a profoundly challenging book with the potential to make a huge impact not only in the lives of the readers but in American Christianity on a national scale. Groeschel confronts believers and provokes them to question whether their belief has any bearing on the way they actually live their life.
He proposes that many Christians believe in God but still put their trust in many other places, including money and happiness rather than in prayer, the church or God’s love. It is well written and easy to read while maintaining a real, deep spiritual punch.
This will be an enormous gut check to any person who claims Christ, but it will be an especially effective reflection for someone who is a believer in name but not so much in practice.
