Did You Grow Up With These Ideas?~~ - It's selfish to have my needs met. - If I'm spiritual enough, I will have no pain or sinfulness. - If I have God, I don't need people. - Guilt and shame are good for me. - Just doing the right thing is more important than why I do it. - These false assumptions, often taught by well-meaning Christians, can have devastating effects on the mental, spiritual, and even physical welfare of those who live by them. They seem true because they are taught with religious language in Scripture verses. But they are emotional heresies. False Assumptions identifies 12 teachings that sound plausible because they contain a nugget of truth. At some point, however, when Christians try to apply the truth, a breakdown occurs. The result is needless suffering, shame, and guilt. This book shows how the Bible, properly understood, brings emotional health and wellness. God and his Word are part of the solution -- not part of the problem. Avoiding the "easy answers" of many, ISBN13: 9780310595700 ISBN10: 0310595703 Material Type: hardcover
