I have actually yet to read Pastor Craig Groeschel’s book, but I have heard a message he taught at my Church, Elevation with the same basic principles as in his book. Pastor Groeschel is an amazing man of God who hears directly from God. The principles he teaches on are profound, and will cause your heart to swell for Christ. I whole heartedly recommend this book. Pastor Craig Groeschel defiantly has, it.The Christian Atheist, by recovering Christian Atheist Craig Groeschel, is an honest, hard-hitting and eye-opening look into the ways people believe in God but live as if he doesn’t exist. From his own lapses in faith as a young man to the painful se. read more.

Answering the Objections of Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics
March 29th, 2010
Despite what the reviewer below said (who didn’t even bother commenting on the book, talk about an innappropriate review) this book is good. It contained a little unique information and was well written and easy to understand.Many arguments from atheists, agnostics, and skeptics are difficult, or at least intimidating, for most Christians to answer. With clear reasoning and understandable language Ron Rhodes provides readers with the explanations and scriptural backgr. read more.
God?: A Debate between a Christian and an Atheist
March 25th, 2010
Although this is a decent book with articulate and interesting debate, I can’t fully recommend it because the entire debate is silly in the first place. No reasonable atheist actually denies the possibility of God(s?), because there is no evidence for it and it is therefore irrational. On the other hand, there is no evidence for religion, so it is irrational to consider it plausible without a shred of evidence despite its technical possibility (think of other arbitrary, implausible, yet possible things like unicorns). It is OK to admit that we have no clue if there is or isn’t a god, and to stop concerning yourself with the matter until some actual evidence arises.
Just because there are gaps in science does not mean God is required to fill them, because they are probably not permanent gaps (think things like stars and lightning that modern science has revealed despite centuries of mystical cop outs). And likewise, just because those gaps will probably be filled by science someday, it does not mean there is no God.
If you are on the fence about religion, this book will only confuse you more, though it will get you thinking and may be enjoyable. The issue should not be to prove or disprove God (both impossible as of now), but rather to determine whether the concept of God and/or organized religion is relevant to your life in the first place. Read something like The God Delusion or Letter to a Christian Nation instead. You will find much more enlightenment there.The question of whether or not God exists is profoundly fascinating and important. Now two articulate spokesmen–one a Christian, the other an atheist–duel over God’s existence in an illuminating battle of ideas. In God? A Debate between a Christian. read more.
