WEIRD by Craig Groeschel

When people describe my lifestyle or family as weird, I find comfort, writes author Craig Groeschel. Journey with Groeschel as he shares a Christ-centered philosophy on everything from money to scheduling to purity, helping readers break out of the normal rut and live according to the rhythms of God's grace and truth of his word. Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. In our oversexed world, lust, premarital sex, guilt, and shame are far more common than purity, virginity, and a healthy married sex life. And when it comes to God, the majority believe in him, but the teachings of Scripture rarely make it into their everyday lives.Simply put, normal isn't working. Groeschel's WEIRD views will help readers break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.
