What Do You Believe?
Is what you believe the God-honest truth?
From the very beginning Satan has used half-truths to manipulate, misapply, and misuse Scripture to corrupt believers. Gail Burton Purath has taken on the challenge of identifying specific half-truth teachings that have infiltrated the church and carefully exposing these errors using Scripture in her latest book, Lies in Disguise: Half-Truths Many Christians Believe.
Through careful biblical analysis and real-life examples, Gail Burton Purath shines a light on popular half-truths that have infiltrated the church, equipping you to recognize distorted teachings—and replace them with truth.
Lies in Disguise will teach you how to:
- Recognize teachings that misuse or take Scripture out of context
- Cultivate spiritual discernment between biblical truth and culturally convenient half-truths
- Respond with love and wisdom when others repeat these errors
Gail Burton Purath became a Christian in her early 20’s with a deep interest in studying God’s Word. Since that time, she’s been involved with writing and leading Bible studies, holding various board positions, and planning programs and retreats for women’s ministry groups. She has a master’s degree in Discipleship and Evangelism from Columbia Biblical Seminary and Gail’s online devotional blog Bible Love Notes reaches thousands each weekday with sound biblical inspiration.
Read an excerpt from Lies in Disguise below:
“Satan, the father of lies, invented the half-truth tactic in the Garden of Eden. It worked so well that he’s been using it ever since and inspiring others to use it. It involves including a little truth to give an air of validity to his lies. And when he fully deceives people, he often gives them a false “form of godliness” even though his lies deny the power of the gospel (2 Tim. 3:1–5).”
Lies in Disguise will be published this December with CLC Publications.
