In a world of hype, we may buy into the idea that if we hold the right beliefs and do the right things, we’ll be healthier and wealthier as well as wiser. So what happens when we become ill, or depressed, or bankrupt? Did we do something wrong? Has God abandoned us?
Michael Horton’s little book, “Too Good To Be True: Finding Hope In a World of Hype” reminds us that when we expect only blessings in life, we’re locked in a vicious cycle of desire and disillusionment. “We need to find our solace in the real God, not an imaginary-friend version that we have created out of the trends and catch-phrases of the world around us.”
This is a powerful little book that clears away the chatter of our culture, and replaces it with nourishing truth!
Learning to Tell Myself the Truth by William Backus
This book/workbook provides a solid, structured approach to replacing commonly held and damaging misbeliefs with Scriptural truth. He organizes this work by especially targeting anxiety, depression, anger, and perfectionism. Each chapter provides practical tools for replacing the “mischief maker” misbeliefs with truth, then offers direction for integrating truth into thought and behavior patterns.
