10 Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe by Larry Osborne

Just Because “Everyone Believes It”
Doesn’t Make It True

People don’t set out to build their faith upon myths and spiritual urban legends. But somehow such falsehoods keep showing up in the way that many Christians think about life and God. These goofy ideas and beliefs are assumed by millions to be rock-solid truth . . . until life proves they’re not. The sad result is often a spiritual disaster—confusion, feelings of betrayal, a distrust of Scripture, loss of faith, anger toward both the church and God.

But it doesn’t have to be so. In this delightfully personal and practical book, respected Bible teacher Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous. Beliefs like these:

• Faith can fix anything
• Christians shouldn’t judge
• Forgiving means forgetting
• Everything happens for a reason
• A godly home guarantees good kids
... and more.
This was a small, simple book that had so much information in it! I realized so many little things that I thought were "true", were lies I was believing. I also found some answers to certain scriptures I had questioned in my life. It is a great book that I will keep with my reference books to review again and again.
