Live Your Truth (and Other Lies): Exposing Popular Deceptions That Make Us Anxious, Exhausted, and Self-Obsessed by Alisa Childers
4.0
"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.
