Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe

Are Urban Legends & Sunday School Myths Ruining Your Faith?





With interest high in the pitfalls of belief among both faith- and anti-faith-oriented readers, Larry Osborne's confrontational take on commonly held beliefs that lead Christians astray can reach a wide audience. His first book for Multnomah, A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God, demonstrated that he is a fresh, accessible thinker who is not afraid of tackling convenient but dangerous assumptions.

In this delightfully personal and practical book, respected Bible teacher Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous. 

People don’t set out to build their faith upon myths and spiritual urban legends. But somehow such falsehoods keep showing up in the way that many Christians think about life and God. These goofy ideas and beliefs are assumed by millions to be rock-solid truth... until life proves they’re not. The sad result is often a spiritual disaster: confusion, feelings of betrayal, a distrust of Scripture, loss of faith, anger toward both the church and God.

But it doesn’t have to be so. Respected Bible teacher Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous, including:

• Faith can fix anything
• God brings good luck
• Forgiving means forgetting
• Everything happens for a reason
• A godly home guarantees good kids

Get ready to be shocked, relieved, and inspired in the pages of Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe. Because the truth is meant to set us free—not hurt us.
