Lies We Believe About God

By: Wm. Paul Young, C. Baxter Kruger - introduction

Narrated by: Wm. Paul Young

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.

Opened my eyes and my heart

Listening to this book opened my eyes and my heart to the truth that relationships and love really is what matters. I didn't agree with all of Paul's perceptions and it did help me to stop and think about what I do truly believe and desire in my relationship with God. After listening to the audio book I did buy the paperback -I still like holding great books and being able to read and reread passages. It's a great listen, read and reread book.

This book brings us a "Bigger God" than we knew

Having grown up in liturgical churches and pastored in a charismatic one, this book express es all that I have come to know in my spirit but oft times was hesitant to express. Thank you Paul for expressing it for me.

What we believe matters

The statement that says “we become like the God we worship” is so true. Wm. Paul Young walks us through the prevalent and seemingly insignificant lies that are spoken from pulpits and as common platitudes in Christian circles. He carries them to their ultimate conclusions and walks boldly into the conversation that everyone tends to avoid.
I’m thankful for Paul’s willingness to include us into a step even farther into the light.
