Synopsis

From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love.

In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love.

Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false.

Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you 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.

If there is a religion that I am willing to join, it is Paul Young's religion. I started with reading The Shack, that entertained as well as shocked me, and made me think. Young's religion is not the one I know and heard about. It is a religion of Love, love yourself and love others. And that is pre......more

Goodreads review by Katrina on August 22, 2017

Mind-blowing I have been a fan of the author for a few years, but this is by far my now favorite book of his. After many years, since my childhood, I have had this image of who God was. For the past year and half, I have struggled with that said image and it made me angry and want to abandon my belie......more

Goodreads review by Mark on February 19, 2017

Wm. Paul Young takes twenty-six phrases that are found in many parts of traditional Christianity and shows why they are lies. Some of the phrases are commonly spoken verbatim, while others may not be said aloud very often, but are still strongly implied. A few of the phrases are twists on more tradi......more
