Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working by Craig Groeschel
4.0
Nothing like a friend asking to borrow a book to get me to finally actually read it. My pastor Craig wrote this book earlier this year to accompany a sermon series of the same name that had one of my favorite weeks of the last couple of years (Week 2, Weird is Better). When I've seen the messages, I tend to take the book for granted. I'm glad I finally pulled this off the shelf.
The voice is totally Craig's. His message: If you want to be like normal people, think and act the way normal people act. Looking at what is the norm in our culture and the world around me, I'll take "weird" every time (Frustrated side note: You'll hear folks talk about The U.S. being a "Christian Nation." If this is true, something has gone very wrong with Chrisianity.) The book's focus is to be different in the way you handle: 1) your time, 2) your money, 3) your relationships, 4) sex, and 5) your values.
A good read for any Christian who wants something different than the norm, especially young Christians.
