Craig Groeschel Books & Studies

God can handle your difficult questions and use them to deepen your relationship with him.

"Am I the only one who has these doubts? What if my friends, family, or others find out I'm doubting--and even deconstructing--my faith in God? What is really true? Does it make me a bad Christian if I have doubts?" At some point, almost all of us have had questions about Christianity and doubts about God. We're afraid we might never find answers, yet we aren't sure if we are ready to abandon our faith altogether.

Bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel has walked through the valley of doubt himself, and in The Benefit of Doubt, he shows us how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw us closer to God. With his trademark humor, warmth, and lay-it-all-on-the-table style, Groeschel shares stories from his own life as well as the Bible to help us wrestle with--and find helpful answers to--the questions fueling our doubt:

• What should I do when I doubt God's goodness?
• Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
• Doesn't science disprove the Bible?
• Why would God only provide one way to heaven?
• Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites?
• Why does God sometimes feel so far away?

Doubt is an important part of deepening your faith, but that doesn't make it an easy process to walk through. If you're wrestling with doubts, this book, along with God's transformative power, will help you develop a richer faith, a deeper understanding, and a more authentic relationship with God.

The Benefit of Doubt Workbook is a companion to the book by pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel. Craig draws on scriptural truths, biblical characters, and church history to lead you through your doubts. In these ten book study sessions, you'll dig deeper into some of the tough-to-answer questions that believers in Christ often ask, including:

• Why should I believe God is good?
• Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
• Why does God feel so far away?
• Why would God send people to hell?

If you're ready to face and embrace your doubts, this workbook will provide you with thought-provoking questions and opportunities to understand your doubts and find deeper faith in the truth. In each of the ten sessions, you'll examine a passage of Scripture that addresses common doubts, and then you'll get to assess your own beliefs about these topics.

The choices you make determine the quality of your life---so choosing wisely is essential! Packed with thought-provoking exercises, Groeschel's interactive guide helps you understand the science behind your decision-making habits; manage emotions; overcome debilitating fears; and see how even small choices shape the kind of person you'll become. Discover seven life-defining "pre-decisions" you can make today! 

We all want to make great decisions, but frequently, we don't. Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel understands this dilemma that we all face. We actually can begin to make better decisions for our lives, to short-circuit the bad-decision cycle, and begin to become the person God wants us to be.

In the Think Ahead Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Craig Groeschel draws on the truth of Scripture and the latest research in human behavior to reveal the power of making decisions in advance. Such decisions are what we might call "pre-deciding", which positions us to make the choices we really want to make and avoid those choices that we do not want to make. In 15 sessions in the workbook, Craig reveals:

• The science behind many of our decision-making habits
• How our small choices shape the kind of people we become
• Practical steps we can employ to combat decision fatigue
• How to develop the ability to diminish the role of emotions in decision-making
• Learn to think ahead and live all the better for it
