One Lie Breeds Another That first lie Satan told in Eden--the one that said God was actually a selfish liar--has spawned a multitude of untruths about who God is and what His feelings toward us really are. The human perception of God has been askew ever since, and we've struggled to relate to this God we don't really (want to) know. Naturally, since our view of God is distorted, our attitudes and behavior are rebellious--perceptions change our thoughts, thoughts influence our feelings, and feelings determine attitudes and behavior. Herb Montgomery goes straight to the root of the problem and sweeps aside the misperceptions of God and His character that cause us to spurn the only one who truly loves us. Some of Christianity's long-held, though biblically unfounded, views are confronted--God's true attitude toward pain and suffering, where guilt comes from, and what His forgiveness accomplishes. And the question that plagues every human heart is irrevocably resolved: If God really loves us, why does He allow horrible things to happen? Written by: Herb Montgomery

Searching for life's meaning is universal. Every culture in every era has search for truth; truth that answers life's big questions; truth that provides significance for daily living; truth that is certain and beyond doubt. But truth has come on hard times. Have you heard somebody say it, “You have your truth and I have mine.” Really? People agree that it is not wise to step out of a tenth-story window or eat certain types of mushrooms. In fact, science and technology are built upon the proposition that truth is "out there" waiting to be discovered. God's Truth sets forth the idea that there is truth not only in the material world but also in the social and spiritual realms; truth that is foundational to personal and social health; truth that transforms lives. Bestselling author George R. Knight explains the Bible’s major themes in a manner that is both clear and brief. As such, it not only provides a concise introduction to the teachings of history’s most influential and best-selling book, but it is also an invitation to further study. After all, there is nothing more important than understanding God’s ultimate truth about the world and our lives.
