Back to non-fiction with Soul
Detox, the next book I read. I’m just now getting to the books published in
early May. I can’t believe how far behind I am. I promise to do better in the
summer months. I generally read books that I receive from NetGalley, so I guess
that I was a little too positive about the time that I would have available for
the month of May, or really April was where my life went crazy. Things are
still crazy, but I should have more time to read and post during the summer.

Soul Detox: Clean
Living in a Contaminated World, by Craig Groeschel
Craig Groeschel is a preacher for today’s world. He is the
founder of a LifeChurch.TV, with fourteen locations and is on the web.
Groeschel has podcasts available through the itunes store, and has written
several books. Soul Detox is an
excellent choice for many of today’s Christians, who have allowed the world to
take over their lives instead for living a life pleasing to God. Groeschel does
not preach he merely presents well thought out reasoning pointing out how many
of us have lost sight of the kind of life that the Lord chooses us to live. What
has today become accepted in the world cannot be allowed in the life of a
Christian, because it leads us away from God instead of toward Him as we are
intended to move.
This is was really eye opening to me, forcing me to begin to
make some changes in my life where I had become lax. Groeschel’s term
‘Christian-Atheist’ really struck home. We know the commandments, yet we choose
to break them, since often the world says it is OK. This is an excellent choice
for anyone. It is such an easy read, that it would make a great gift for young
people, or could be studied in a youth study group. Don’t get me wrong, it
should be read by most adults, too.
This one book will change your life.
