There are many types of lie, but perhaps the most dangerous and deceptive of all is the half–truth. A manipulative distortion of truth, it sounds convincing but is destructively distant from what is true. Flip Michaels tackles five half–truths that are commonly used as arguments against the validity of the Bible, Christianity, God, Christ and faith. He clearly and engagingly unveils the whole truth and explains why understanding the whole meaning is crucial. These five truths are:
The Bible was written by men and inspired by God.
All religions are the same, except Christianity.
God is love and holy, holy, holy.
Jesus is truly a man and truly God.
Our good deeds matter when preceded by faith.

Wrong theology leads to wrong living. In this timely work, Five Half–Truths, Flip Michaels has presented a clear and concise manual on the dangers of believing half–truths and how that inevitably leads to wrong living. In a world where God’s truth is readily dismissed and considered insufficient and irrelevant for the age, this work is a reminder that God’s truth endures. Use this book often to remind yourself of right biblical thinking that your mind may be renewed and your heart transformed.

Flip Michaels, a man with his finger on the pulse of culture, has catalogued the principle half–truths and deceptive jargon that inform the present–day dismissal of Christianity—both in the academy and on the street. Then, through incisive logic, the author demonstrates that every half–truth is a subtle lie. And, on top of that, Flip winsomely provides the antidote with a marvelously down–to–earth defense of the Bible and Christian truth. Five Half Truths is a gift to the church and a needy world.

… Flip Michaels has provided the church with a clear and cogent resource for engaging a skeptical world with biblical truth. Each chapter delves into some of the most common objections to the claims of the Bible and provides a winsome defense of the whole truth. I pray that everyone buys two copies of this book, one to read for themselves and one for a person in their life who has questions about the truth.

Flip Michaels tackles head–on five key truths regarding Scripture, authentic Christianity, the nature of God, the person of Christ, and the gospel. Frankly, these are not things we can afford to get wrong. These essential truths must be rightly divided and contended for, and Flip does just that. A helpful book!
