Synopsis

Concise and straightforward, 7 Biblical Truths You Won't Hear in Church is a fast-moving, thought-stimulating book for believers who want "something more"...or for Christians who've given up expecting anything from their faith. Author and speaker David Rich points to key issues that can refresh readers' enthusiasm in such provocatively titled chapters as

• the Ten Commandments were not given to be kept
• trying to live for Jesus will only frustrate you
• prayer doesn't change God's mind
• God doesn't grade on a curve
• what you see in the mirror is not the real you

Readers will be encouraged that the truth is still there to be found--and through it, a truly fulfilling relationship with Jesus Christ.

About this title

About the Author:

An author and a corporate presenter for 20 years, David Rich is one of fewer than 500 Certified Speaking Professionals in the world. When he was challenged to look at the Bible in a fresh way a number of years ago, it renewed his spiritual life and led to the writing of 7 Biblical Truths You Won't Hear in Church. Through GraceCamp Ministries, David now shares the wonderful truths of the Word at retreats and Christian forums in addition to his corporate speaking.

From Publishers Weekly:

Rich, a corporate presenter and retreat leader, understands that it is easier to learn something new than to relearn something familiar. From this premise, Rich successfully tackles timeworn misconceptions about God, grace and the Christian life. Rich delves deeply into erroneous beliefs that will have many an evangelical searching scripture either to disprove his statements or back them up—exactly what Rich desires. Provocative assertions abound, including these statements: the 10 Commandments were not given to be kept; attempting to live for Jesus will only frustrate; and prayer doesn't change God's mind. Rich explains why, for example, the 10 Commandments (as well as other laws) were given. The law is God's vehicle to judge the unbelieving world; it reveals people's need for a savior; and God uses its message to direct humanity to Christ. Throughout his book, Rich rounds out each biblical principle with engaging, humorous and frequently revealing personal anecdotes. In a time when many evangelicals seem content to skim the surface of biblical claims, Rich's challenging study is a refreshing and necessary alternative. (Jan.)
