In her book The Pretend Christian, author Deirdre Reilly takes the reader 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-read, 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?
