While the church is really good at discerning spiritual errors, it often lags in its skills at discerning earthly ones. Christian Counselor and Mensa member Ron Leonard tackles the all-important and pervasive issue of discerning when your culture and occasionally your friends and family, are trying to lie, take advantage of, and bamboozle you. After all, if Satan is the "Father of Lies" did you think he was going to stop at the church doors?
Sometimes we're fooled by our own selfish desires. Sometimes we're fooled because we are "believers". Since church members are rarely trained in earthly discernment, we tend to believe foolish things to the detriment of our lives and to the dismay of would-be believers.
Topics covered include What is Truth, as well as Truth in Science, Politics, Advertising, and the Church. Principles for discerning truth are addressed as well as practical case studies on applying those principles. Several chapters are also dedicated to practical truths discovered while counseling married couples and individuals. Summary? C.S. Lewis with a twist of David Barry.
