Let's get WEIRD!!!

Craig Groeschel is WEIRD!  But weird in a good way ... in a Christian way.  He hits on some very obvious things that we, as Christians, should be thinking about on a daily basis.  We should look at being weird because what we, as Americans, think is normal (high debt, divorce, self-centeredism, etc) obviously isn't working.  People think that high consumer debt is acceptable, divorce rates are at 50% and we think about ourselves before we think about others.

Pastor Groeschel's other book "The Christian Atheist" is just as good as this one.  In that he talks about how we as Christians will admit that we are a Christian and yet act as if we aren't.

Weird is an amazing book for some good old-fashioned self reflection.  We need to look deep into ourselves and step up and make a change.  Let's not accept what the rest of the world accepts as normal.  We should be concerned with debt, we should hate divorce and we should think about others.  Let's try.  Read this book and think ... and think long and hard about it.

Rating: 5/5
