Misused: Revealing the Fact, Faith, and Truth of Biblical Encouragement

With more than 19 major religions and 34,000 classifications within those religions, it is easy to become confused by what truth is, what to believe, or even what religion you should follow. More and more people are resorting to cliché “feel good” statements to provide encouragement in the midst of their crisis or hardships. These misused statements will usually only bring empty hope.

Using relatable stories from the author’s 15 years of ministry experience, Misused reveals the fact, faith, and truth to difficult statements and thoughts like; “God will never give you more than you can handle” or God should make us happy if we ask for it. The book also addresses hard topics such as why bad things happen to God’s people, and tips for facing liars in your life. The valuable concepts are brought to life in three primary sections:

How society uses “feel good” statements

The biblical foundation of the statement

What should be used instead

Within these 3 categories readers are empowered to understand the concepts that truly encourage others with biblical truth and compassion. Each chapter ends with questions for thought and discussion, making this the perfect tool for an 8-week devotional, small group study, or personal growth tool.
