Who Told You That?

That was God’s question for Adam and Eve, and it is his question for us today. Life experiences may leave us believing we are failures, unlovable, stupid, or worthless. God asks, “Who told you that?” The answer to that question has the power to change lives. By examining how we come to believe those lies about ourselves, we can learn to live by the truth instead. Through relevant personal stories, humor, and a practical tool called The Lie Detector, readers will discover the following:

• How to identify misbeliefs about themselves and God
• How to replace those misbeliefs with truth
• How to live a life of peace, joy, and contentment
• It is not people, circumstances, or things that determine our happiness. It is what we believe about those things that matters. Know the truth—and be set free. “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

A study in the profound impact of lies and truths alike, Who Told You That? focuses not on modifying behavior but on transformation of the heart. Laurie Etta Neill guides readers through an exploration of cultural beliefs and internalized struggles on the path to truth, revealing along the way that the answer to this central question has the power to change lives. Our misbeliefs can have devastating consequences. Know the truth—and be set free.
