Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From the author of the twenty million plus copy bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of the wrong-headed ideas we sometimes have and share about God.

Wm. Paul Young has been called a heretic for the ways he vividly portrays God's love through his novels. Here he shares twenty-eight commonly uttered and sometimes seemingly innocuous things we say about God. Paul exposes these as lies that keep us from having a full, loving relationship with our Creator.

With personal anecdotes and sharing the compassion readers felt from the "Papa" portrayed in The Shack --now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer--Paul encourages readers to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God's deep and abiding love.

"The best-selling author of Cross Roads presents a conversational exploration of the misunderstandings people have and share about God, offering compassionate anecdotes that explore topics ranging from sin and politics to identity and creation,"--NoveList.
