Craig Groeschel is quite an entertaining pastor. Throughout the book he encourages people to not be like the world, but to be individuals that stand up and live for Christ. This will dub you as "weird" by society, and that is a good thing. We should not make our standard for living to be that which glorifies our desires for ourselves, but for Christ within us. I felt really encouraged throughout the book as I sensed his concern and love for the people who read it. He focused a portion on how people in the US spend their money and how it is time to be viewed as "weird" for where our money is invested. He also talks about the way the world accepts sexual immorality today, and how we need to focus on obeying God's standards for sex and modesty, being very different from the world in how we live relationally. He also helped encourage people to not be selfish in how we live, where our focus is on success in business or wanting to live for our dreams, but to instead live for the Lord through our choices and how we treat others. It was truly a beautiful book and I read it in a little over a day's time.
