✔ What it's about
Have you noticed how some popular “Christian” teachings BLUR the line between truth and error?
Lies in Disguise, Half-Truths Many Christians Believe can equip you to recognize these errors and develop your biblical discernment.
In our present culture, discernment is especially important.
We need to guard our minds and hearts against the powerful propaganda of half-truth teachings.
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Lies in Disguise can help you guard your heart and strengthen your faith.
✔ It's Theologically sound and Ideal for individual or group study
“In a culture where lies persist and truth is hard to find, Gail Purath dispels many of the most prevalent lies that can shipwreck a believer’s faith and gently leads us back to the truth about God’s character and will for our lives. New believers and even many long-time believers cannot afford to ignore Gail’s teaching and corrections.”
