Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Christian Atheist
Craig Groeschel · 2010
🎙 Narrated by Tom Schiff (Zondervan)
66/100
👎 Skip It
Groeschel's 'Christian Atheist' hook — believing in God but living like He doesn't exist — is sharp, and his personal anecdotes make it go down easy. At least one reviewer flagged it as reading like a generic self-help book with verses sprinkled in, and I can see that; it doesn't go especially deep. Tom Schiff's narration is pleasant and conversational, matching the light tone.
