Book Description
From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

Book Description
In this 25-lesson revised and updated workbook based on the classic bestseller, Dr. Chris Thurman reveals the lies we tell ourselves, how they damage us, and what we can do about them. Most of us were told growing up that it was wrong to lie to others. But how many of us were raised to believe that one of the biggest mistakes we can make in life is to lie to ourselves? The reality is that we lie to ourselves every day. We tell ourselves things that are inaccurate, distorted, untrue, irrational, mistaken, and, most importantly, unbiblical. These lies fall into different categories: Lies about ourselves: "I must be perfect," "My worth is determined by how I perform," "I must have everyone's approval," "It's easier to avoid my problems than face them..." Lies about relationships: "People can meet my emotional needs," "I should be accepted just as I am," "Others are more messed up than me," "People have to earn my forgiveness..." Lies about life: "I can have it all," "I shouldn't wait for what I want," "Being happy is the most important thing in life," "Life should be easy and fair..." Lies about God: "I have to earn God's love," "God is mean and vindictive," "God ignores my disobedience," "God changes people," "God has lost control of everything..." Lies men believe: "I don't have what it takes to be a man," "It's not okay to feel sad or scared," "My good intentions should satisfy everyone," "I can do it by myself..." Lies women believe: "My job in life is to make everyone happy," "It's not okay to speak my mind," "I'm not worthy of being loved as I am," "Outer beauty is more important than inner beauty..." Lies about reality: "I need to make a mountain out of a molehill," "I should take everything personally," "Life is black and white," "My feelings determine the truth..." Truth matters--not just between us and others, but also inside of us. When we lie to ourselves, we poison our souls and lead an existence we wouldn't wish on our worst enemy. But when we tell ourselves the truth, we nourish our souls and fully experience the abundant life that Jesus wants us to have. The psalmist wrote, "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long" (Psalm 25:5). We live in a fallen world where "truth has stumbled in the streets" (Isaiah 59:14) and the majority of humankind is suffering because "their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened" (Romans 2:21). We desperately need to turn back to the Lord to guide us in his truth. We need to recognize the lies we believe . . . and instead trust in the truth that God provides.

Book Description
“If there ever was such a thing as a ‘shortcut’ to the wisdom of the ages, you’re holding it in your hands. This is the kind of wisdom that can only be earned over a lifetime of trial and error, trial and error, and, finally, trial and success.” -Patrick Morley Author, The Man in the Mirror “In 2001, I wrote a book called Lies Women Believe. Since then this message has reached millions of women and been translated into dozens of languages. But I’ve often been asked about a ‘male counterpart’ to the book. When God brought Robert into my life in 2015, I soon realized he was the ideal choice to pen this message for men. You’ll find that reading Lies Men Believe, with its warm, relatable style, is like having a conversation with a good friend. Be prepared, in the process, to grapple with some tough issues. And be prepared to experience the liberating power of the Truth—in your own life, and in the lives of those you influence.” -Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth Revive Our Hearts Teacher & Host; Lies Books Series Editor You are being hunted. Like a seasoned angler, our enemy opens his tackle box and selects the lure most likely to attract his intended prey—usually the one you and I are least likely to consider harmful. Each lie we bite on causes us to feel pain, lose or injure relationships, and miss out on the abundant life that God wants us to have. Lies Men Believe exposes the lies that men most commonly believe, and shows you how to combat those lies with the truth. Lies like: Pleasure and Entertainment Can Truly Satisfy Me If I Mean Well, That’s Good Enough If I Discipline My Children, They’ll Rebel. I’m Measured by How I Compare with Other Men. Find out how lies are holding you back from freedom, joy, and intimacy with God and others. Discover the power of the truth. Because once you fully embrace the truth, nothing is ever the same.
