This is a humorous book by my own pastor. I really enjoy his books and his sense of humor but also his straight forward way of telling you things.

I liked this book because Craig Groeschel - Pastor of LifeChurch.tv ask some good questions.. Like I can't stand a lot of Christians. A good book to read before Easter

Encouraging to hear a pastor speak so bluntly.

I like Craig. Of course, he is the preacher/teacher I choose to listen to every Sunday so I may be biased. This is a very honest and challenging book. He encourages one to rethink how you live and what choices you make.

eh...... I hoped for a lot more from this book. It's "honest," I guess, but it didn't seem to have much depth to me. I'm in a different place, I guess. I probably would have liked the book a lot more 15 years ago.

I read this at the same time that I was reading Craig's newest book Christian Athiest. This is a great book too. I love how raw and real Craig gets to expose himself as just a man. Loved it.

The pastor of lifechurch.tv blew me away with his brutal honesty in this book. I love everything that I've seen come out of lifechurch.tv, and Craig's books are no exception.
