Books by Craig Groeschel

It has been rightly said that "e;Jesus is the hope of the world."e; While we can never argue against the importance of the power of the risen Son of God, it is also true that "e;the local church is the hope of the world."e; After all, the church is the body of Christ. Jesus manifested himself through the church. And we, as the church, are chosen and called by God to be light in the darkness and give hope to the hopeless.For this reason, it is critical for the body of Christboth pastors and laypeople aliketo learn how to lead like it matters. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shares what he has learned in more than twenty-six years of leading LifeChurch. The church began in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment, but people were drawn there because they sensed a powerful, life-changing force that Craig calls "e;it."e; While exactly what "e;it"e; is can be difficult to define, Craig reveals seven factors that contribute to it (or at least don't kill it):Sessions include: VisionDivine FocusUnmistakable CamaraderieInnovative MindsWillingness to Fall ShortHearts Focused OutwardKingdom-MindednessCraig also unpacks three important realms that every leader must master: (1) prioritizing mindset over model, (2) creating systems that empower it, and (3) finding a balanced way to lead to stay centered around it. While adopting these seven factors and realms will not guarantee a church will have that "e;it"e; factor, it will certainly lead that church toward it. It will help all of us lead like it matters.

';When people describe my lifestyle or family as weird, I find comfort,' writes author Craig Groeschel. He then shares a Christ-centered philosophy, on everything from money to scheduling to purity, to help you 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 you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.
