a Shared Life

Can faith fix everything? Does forgiving mean forgetting? Does everything happen for a reason?

A lot of cultural myths about God surround us and many people believe them. At times these myths cause people to stumble in their faith–often blaming God and hurting other in the process. In 10 Dumb Things Smart Christian Believe, Larry Osbourne takes on ten popular myths about God. This book contains clear, simple answers to the myths and spiritual legends that many people believe about God and will challenge you to think about faith myths you might believe–or help you explain them to others. A study-guide is included in the appendix making it easy to use as a small group study.

Book Summary:
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.
