Lies We are Told, the Truth We Must Hold
Worldviews and Their Consequences
Sharon James
Helps Christians navigate current claims
Engages major philosophies
Shows how biblical truth refutes culture’s lies
We are surrounded by lies. They are incorporated into the worldview of our culture. Sharon James investigates the origins of some of these lies and looks at how we have got to the point where absolute truth is an outdated concept. In examining the evidence of history, she highlights the consequences of applying dangerous untruths. In the second part she turns to the truth which leads to real liberation and justice. She shows why we don’t need to be ashamed of Christ, or intimidated by the claims of those who are militantly opposed to the Bible.

… a detailed but highly readable and valuable resource to help us engage with the people around us and contextualise the timeless truth of Jesus.

… shows us that it all started with the denial of the existence of God, absolute morality, and universal truth. Instead, the world conjured up its own notions of truth and justice. The only antidote is to return to a biblical worldview, which Sharon very deftly lays out in the second half of her book. I highly recommend this work!

Clearly and forcefully and in pursuit of a purpose of persuasion, James has given us a succinct analysis of today’s culture of death, how we got here, assurance that it will not have final victory, and clear guidance out of the bondage of these destructive lies.

… a remarkable feat: she addresses the lies that our culture currently exalts as truth and does so in a way that crosses the generational divide and will be helpful both to young people and those who wish to understand them and help them think through the deepest challenges of our day.
