Have you ever encountered phrases like “live your truth,” “you are enough,” or “you should put yourself first”? In a world that champions self-care and self-help, it’s easy to get caught up in these well-intentioned but potentially misleading messages. Alisa Childers skillfully exposes the subtle yet pervasive lies of our culture that seep into our minds in her book, “Live Your Truth – and Other Lies.” 

About the book

Childers delves into each of these deceits, shedding light on their fallacies by redirecting our focus towards our place before God and who God truly is. The book presents a compelling narrative enriched by personal stories from the author’s own battles with seeking truth and living within its boundary lines.

“Live Your Truth – and Other Lies” challenges readers to approach social media and news with a critical eye, encouraging them to evaluate their beliefs against the backdrop of God’s word. It prompts introspection about personal biases that may have been mistaken for divine truths. Rather than relying on the shifting sands of our ever-changing culture, this book strengthens your love and trust in God’s word.

If you’re a conscientious consumer in today’s world—whether it’s on social media, in the news, or through various forms of entertainment—if you actively engage with the world and interact with people from diverse backgrounds, or if you’re seeking to align your moral compass with God’s teachings, this book is a must-read. “Live Your Truth – and Other Lies” is especially recommended for young women aspiring to live according to God’s truth, rather than their own interpretations. Embrace this insightful journey towards authentic faith and wisdom.
