Lies We Tell Ourselves
Lies We Tell Ourselves | Greg Laurie
1 post | 1 read
We all know what it's like to justify something we're about to do with a clever excuse. Temptation knocks at every door. No one is immune. But often we put ourselves in places of vulnerability and then wonder why we get tempted. So, wherein lies the problem? With the lies we tell ourselves and our resulting behavior. In this engaging book, Greg Laurie takes an honest and humorous look at the ways we fall into sin and how we frequently rationalize our actions. Drawing from the pages of Scripture and his own experiences, he shares practical steps we can take to effectively resist temptation and put an end to the compromises that will ultimately lead to our downfall.

The name of this book is "Lies We Tell Ourselves," written by pastor Greg Laurie. In the book he talks about what it means to be tempted, how to recognize it, and how and why people fall for temptation. From denial and making excuses, to recognizing how to identify individual weaknesses that lead to falling for temptation, and strategies for resisting it, the author teaches us how to put an end to making compromises that will end up harming us.

GbemisolaM If you like faith based books that teach about the unpleasant aspects of being human and how to overcome them, and that offer encouragement and guide people on how to live their best lives, this book is for you. I believe a motif in this book would be that there is still hope despite the fallen nature of the human race, because Christians believe that there is always hope and a chance for redemption, no matter who you are, what you've done... 4y
