"The best lies are the ones that sound the most beautiful."
"Truth is true no matter how we feel about it."
In this latest book by Alisa Childers, she examines the popular messages of our current culture (ie; you are enough, follow your heart, you are in charge of your destiny etc.) with the messages of the Bible and it is no surprise to read that they are often opposing.
I enjoyed the book and resonated with the message but found the tone off-putting at times. I wish she would not have presented her arguments while putting down the writings of others. I understand that she is concerned that we hear the truth but I would have preferred her to do it in a more general way instead of calling out specific authors and their words, thereby putting people on the defensive.

Oh boy. This is another must read(listen) because I think we all have fallen in the trap of these lies! It's affecting every aspect of our lives and is making us into people we don't know or even care to be yet here we are still chasing after them.
"Are you tired of feeling like you have to check social media to find out what you're supposed to think? Are you weary of the latest self-help books that promise to set you free but only imprison you with laundry lists of studies to consider, positive affirmations to recite, and Facebook groups to join?
We've all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another Gospel? author Alisa Childers invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today's culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality they are deeply deceptive.
In Live Your Truth (and Other Lies), Alisa will help you to:
uncover the common lies repeated within progressive circles
hold on to the soul-restoring truths that God's Word offers
be empowered to live the way your Creator designed you
Being the captain of your own destiny and striving to make your dreams a reality is a huge burden that you were never meant to bear. Discover true freedom instead."-Goodreads
