WEIRD: Because Normal Isn’t Working Audiobook

" Groeschel really hits home, for me, feelings of weirdness that I've felt during my journey with Christ. Outlining the "weird" vs. "normal" in areas such as sex, finances and relationships I found areas where I struggle and areas where I feel headed in the right direction. Definitely a book if you're feeling a little flat and need to get fired up for Christ! "

" Loved this book. I knew I was weird but this book confirmed it "

" This is a good read for married Christians trying to use Biblical principles to bring order to the chaotic modern life. His sections on priorities and scheduling are excellent. "

" Funny and inspiring. Good read for Christian parents. "

" What a good reminder on why we should live such "weird" lives. Going with the norm just isn't working and is not fulfilling either. Craig Groeschel tells it like it is, he even gets a little in-your-face at time. But his communications style was very easy going and fun to read. "

" It was OK - has a valid point, but I felt it was too long and repetitive. His point was well-taken in the first half. "

" It is about being different and not being like the world in a Christian stand point. Enjoyed it very much and the author is pretty down to earth and says it like it is. "

" Awesome book which includes helpful and detailed TO-DO list in order for you to have a successful christian life. Fully recommend! "

" I am WEIRD! This was a great book. It confirmed many of my general ideas and thoughts regarding following Jesus CHrist in a committed fashion. "

" Very entertaining and enlightening...I am proud to say that I'm weird in many of the right ways. Written by a former Christian atheist who is now a pastor, the book talks about why normal human behavior, such as "keeping up with the Joneses", is dragging our society down. "

" Love reading Craig's books. So practical and easy to read. "

" Overall I thought it was good. There were a few things I didn't necessarily agree with but over all I thought it had a lot of universal spiritual truths that are worth putting into practice. "

" Not as good as Christian Atheist, but still a good read... "

" This book is great for people who don't mind being weird...and even want to know how to be more weird! I loved the practical tips and straight talk. "

" Chapter 14 "A Weird Blessing" (the blessing of a burden) was the book's one redeeming quality. The tone of the book felt like he was trying to be the Dave Ramsey of moral behavior...and I like Dave Ramsey! Just not someone else trying to be who they are not...it's too weird. "

" So far the book is really interesting and thought provoking! "

" My take away...."weird people know that everything is spiritual" "

" Encouraged my life of walking the narrow path. Reminded that society today has made that which God called unclean 'normal' and I have renewed confidence that being labeled 'weird' from society's norm is ok by me! "

" I thought this was a fabulous book! a must read for every Christian trying to reconcile living in the world but not of it. Funny, yet deep. "

" Good strong challenges that really took a toll on my ministry. It helped me to look into a different direction in service to others as well as how we often view "christian" things from a stereotypical point of view with many presuppositions. Another great book from Craig Groeschel! "

" Craig mixes transparency, humor and truth to drive home the point that "normal" truly isn't working. When it comes to family, the "weirder" the better. Good read. "

" A must read! Craig Groeschel is an amazing! "

" Challenging book for Christians really wanting to live out their faith. Highly recommend to all! "

" Great book to consider your Christian walk. Christ calls us to be weird and this book helps you examine how you use your time, your values, and money to honor Him. "

" This was a very good book. I stumbled across it in B&N and finished it from Amazon. The book is topically organized and well written. It's vaguely familiar, but this pastor from OK does a great job of presenting the Christian life as WEIRD, not normal. "

" I thought it was very good!! "

" There were some good truths in this book, but overall I didn't enjoy the writing style. I'm glad I read it though! "

" This book reads very much like Craig's G's previous works (ie. Christian Athesist) He's professes a strict moral code to adhere to much like that of Islam. Also he makes it an all or nothing propositon. That is what he means by bieng weird. "

" Slices of important stuff in there. Much against the grain against the flow of culture, type thinking. Doin things the old fashioned way; a simple way, before narcissism catapulted us into debt and materialistic idolatry. "

" Love the radical way of thinking and life "

" Must read book. So glad I'm weird. "

" The first few chapters were a common repeat in Christian books, but the last 3-4 chapters made the book worth the read.... "
