Summary

Is your faith on life support, or do you ever wonder if you even deserve to call yourself a Christian? Guess what? You don't have to be a perfect, "churchy" person to experience God's love!

In The Pretend Christian, author Deirdre Reilly takes the listener on her personal journey to find authentic Christian faith, winding through common questions, doubts, and both negative and positive experiences that all lead to the stunning, life-changing reality of Christ's presence. Filled with raw honesty, sincere doubts, genuine searching, and moving, often-humorous insights, The Pretend Christian is a candid and bracing modern-day search for the one true God.

"The Pretend Christian introduces the reader to the reality of relationship over religion. A 'now generation' message of great value; a pearl of great price." (Alveda King, evangelist)

In her easy-to-listen-to, relatable narrative, Reilly explores:

  • How judgmental Christians hurt the case for Christ
  • How a focus on being a "cookie-cutter" Christian or belonging to the "correct" denomination can interrupt a personal relationship with God
  • How God powerfully handles our doubts and fears
  • The evidence of God available to every searcher

Can it really all be true - did Christ come to save us? What does that mean for each one of us?

Lightweight, but great final chapter

I bought and started the Kindle book, but ended up listening to this audiobook. (Didn’t resonate with the narrator, because her diction didn’t suit my English ears, but that only detracted for me & may not bother many).

This was a ‘lightweight’ or gentle way of addressing several challenges people may experience in their journey to The Lord. It was interesting and the experiences were enlightening. I enjoyed the last chapter thoroughly and will revisit it for that chapter alone, which I will highlight in my Kindle version.
