I was asked to participate in a blog tour for Larry Osborne's latest book, Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe. Larry is also the author of the book, A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God, which I HIGHLY recommend. You can see my review of that book here.
Are urban legends and Sunday School myths ruining your faith? Just because "everyone believes it" doesn't make it true. People don't set out to build their faith on myths. But somehow falsehoods keep showing up in the way many Christians think about life and God. These 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, distrust of Scripture, and loss of faith or anger toward both God and the Church.
But it doesn't have to be so. In this personal and practical book, respected pastor and Bible teacher, Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous. Beliefs like:
- Faith can fix anything
- God brings good luck
- Forgiving means forgetting
- Everything happens for a reason
- A godly home guarantees godly kids
Larry Osborne is recognized as one of America's most innovative pastors. He is the pastor of North Coast Church in Vista, California.
