Could it be that some of your most
closely held beliefs are really just
Lies in Disguise?

The most dangerous lies aren't the ones we see coming--they're the ones dressed in just enough truth to look biblical. From the Garden of Eden to the modern pulpit, Satan has used half-truths to manipulate, misapply, and misuse Scripture passages.

Through careful biblical analysis and real-life examples, Gail Burton Purath shines a light on popular half-truths that have infiltrated the church, equipping you to recognize distorted teachings--and replace them with truth.

Lies in Disguise will teach you how to:

• Recognize teachings that misuse or take Scripture out of context
• Cultivate spiritual discernment between biblical truth and culturally convenient half-truths
• Respond with love and wisdom when others repeat these errors

Each chapter includes a "Digging Deeper" section with thought-provoking Bible study questions--perfect for personal reflection or small group discussions.
