...by Craig Groeschel (Zondervan)
Well, when I was given this I thought the title was redolent of various books of recent years of the Christianity-has-been-possessed-by-modernism-and-ruined-everything-but-now-my-book-tells-the-truth-(humbly) variety.
But no. In fact it's not even the lightweight volume I suspected it to be after discovering that the author is a bible-believing pastor (I think he's the fella behind the church behind YouVersion). It's a straightforward challenge to get the things we believe, to be functional in our lives: the Christian atheist is someone who believes in God but lives as if he doesn't exist. There's a massive issue if ever there was.
In a series of short chapters, written attractively and simply, with plenty of self-deprecating illustrations, Craig Groeschel runs through "When you believe in God but..." are ashamed of your past; but not in prayer; but don't think He's fair; but still worry all the time; but not in His church...etc etc
A really helpful book, for new Christians, for more long-term Christians who need to look at some areas where they have been held back, and an easy read.
