About this audiobook

From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love.

In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love.

Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false.

Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

    Great love for God but lacks basic theological understanding. Would not recommend.

    I had read parts of the shack and the shack revisited but couldn't come to grips with the content, this book is more clear and concise and a great read/listen for any seeker of truth and wisdom.

    Beautiful and more beautiful. From the depth of the introduction by renowned theologian C Baxter Kruger - including his magnificent thesis - to the sublime re-focusing on multiple aspects of God’s loving person, this is a deeply intelligent book that ushers in peace, joy and hope.

    Perspective shifting. Young allows you to enter into conversation with him.

    I waffled between a two star and four star rating, as I went through this book. I don't agree that some of the "lies" are actually lies. For example, I believe we do separate ourselves from God when we sin and I believe that God (The Father) and Christ are actually male (and that these are not lies). The author also rarely uses scripture to back up his "ideas". That being said, I still think that books like this are good, and that we should not just accept every conventional Christian belief, without confirming that it matches up with what we believe to be true, from our own thorough reading of scripture and personal prayer.
