A decade into his successful ministry, Pastor Craig Groeschel realized a painful self-discovery: although he believed in God, he was leading his church as if God didn't exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschel's admission and the journey that follows - from his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encountered--will look and sound like the story of your own life.

“I want to believe, I want to have hope, but....” Pastor and author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it’s the hurt that shouts the loudest. Can God be good when life is not? You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good.

As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. It's wonderful, refreshing, and never-been-said-this-way-before good news.

As he examines Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, Kyle unpacks the many counterintuitive truths, including: brokenness is the way to wholeness, mourning is the path to blessing, and emptiness is required in order to know true fullness.

One thing moves God: faith. Not doctrinal savvy. Not willpower. Trust in God alone stirs him to move miraculously on our behalf. Time and again, Jim Cymbala, author of Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, has seen the power of faith displayed in the lives of the ordinary people in his church, and in his own life. He has seen drug addicts and prostitutes set free, marriages restored, and sinners transformed by the love of Jesus Christ. All through the kind of radical, living faith described in this audiobook.

Story
In Sandcastle Kings, Rich Wilkerson uses four powerful stories from the seventh chapter of Luke to explain why spiritual fulfillment cannot be found in ourselves, in other people, in material things, or even in religion. By studying the stories of the centurion's faith, the resurrection of the widow's son, Jesus' message about John the Baptist, and the anointing by the woman with the alabaster jar, you will be able to face your doubts and insecurities and overcome your anxiety, discontentment, and depression.
Summary
You are NOT who you think you are. In fact, according to best-selling author Craig Groeschel in Altar Ego, you need to take your idea of your own identity, lay it down on the altar, and sacrifice it. Give it to God. Offer it up.
Why? Because you are who God says you are. And until you’ve sacrificed your broken concept of your identity, you won’t become who you are meant to be.
When we place our false labels and self-deception on the altar of God’s truth, we discover who we really are as his sons and daughters. Instead of an outward-driven, approval-based ego, we learn to live with an "altar" ego, God’s vision of who we are becoming.
Discover how to trade in your broken ego and unleash your altar ego to become a living sacrifice. Once we know our true identity and are growing in our Christ-like character, then we can behave accordingly, with bold behavior, bold prayers, bold words, and bold obedience.
Altar Ego reveals who God says you are, and then calls you to live up to it.

Excellent!
Each chapter has lots of nuggets of wisdom. It flows well and the narration kept my attention. He is refreshing honest. His vulnerability, his laugh out loud humour (in parts) and sprinkled with stories where Craig has witnessed God moving in people’s lives makes this empowering book for me a joy to listen to. Great read.

Challenging and engaging
What does Craig Groeschel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It was good having the author read the book. It made the transparent parts of the book believable.
What did you learn from Altar Ego that you would use in your daily life?
I was reminded and challenged by the idea that I'm an ambassador for Christ and that makes me the highest ranking official of His kingdom in my sphere of influence.

Simple and Anointed
At first I found that even that is very inspiring and very well narrated it was nothing really new. to me. I have been a Christian for 36 years , however sometimes is not about the new but about the anointing of the author. Pastor Craig. is an annointed man of God that you want to listen more than once.
I re-listened the book and found it more inspiring the second time. As Christians we need continual reminders of our identify and character in Christ. It is easy to fool ourselves with head knowledge when we actually need to live it.
May favorite chapters are the ones on boldness.

Abundant blessings beyond belief
This was my third book to listen to, By Craig Groeschel. I started the year thinking my business growth was limited. I wondered whether or not I would be able to meet my personal and business goals. My life seemed stagnant. I have faith but, this book taught me to be bold in my faith. Through Christ, I have had the most abundant year of growth I could ever expect. I have boldly asked God to bless us and change my heart so that I would expect His blessings. He has do e just that. I have shared my testimony with my business coach, who I never discussed Christ with, because he asked me what I was doing differently. I explained that I was simply asking God to lead me and bless my business. Thank you, Craig, for restoring my faith and giving me the courage to be bold in my faith.

Poor performance
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book is a good story and somewhat worth the time. However, the author begins to repeat himself toward the end of the book.
What could Craig Groeschel have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Remove some of the redundancy.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator smacks his lips between words. Really annoying!
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No
