Are we living by truth—or quietly accepting lies?

In this engaging and thoughtful paperback, J. Mack Stiles helps readers spot the lies that often go unchallenged in our culture—from misleading ideas about identity and death to redefinitions of success and goodness. With biblical insight and pastoral care, he shows how the gospel equips us to live into truth.

The Truth About Lies helps readers recognize cultural narratives that distort the truth and ground their thinking in Scripture. This is a great resource for small groups, college students, youth leaders, and anyone looking to engage with gospel truth.

Let this book remind you: the truth really does set us free.

"Jesus is relevant to your life today. And tomorrow. And every day until you die. And even (and maybe most importantly) the days after you die. I dare you to read this book, realize the lies that so subtly deceive us, and see the truth that has power to transform us, now and forever."


- David Platt, founder of Radical

"What a splendid little book, filled with enough simple truths and profound good news to change your life. In his disarming, yet unflinching way, Mack introduces us to Jesus Christ and tells us how we can live forever. What could be more important than that?"


- Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, North Carolina

"Stiles answers some of the most common questions I've heard about Christianity with winsome respectfulness and biblical faithfulness. To my friends who don't yet know Jesus, I pray this brief Q&A would shine the truth like a flood lamp on your path."


- Gloria Furman, author of Missional Motherhood and A Tale of Two Kings

"In this brilliantly written and thought-provoking book, J. Mack Stiles tackles some of the biggest lies doing the rounds — both the lies lurking in our culture and the lies we are tempted to tell ourselves — and shows how the timeless wisdom of Jesus of Nazareth time after time cuts through the confusion. Whether you’re confused about your identity, your value, what God might think of you, what it means to be “good”, or how to navigate a world of so many beliefs and “truth claims”, The Truth About Lies helps bring clarity to the chaos. And if you’ve ever wondered what relevance the message of Jesus could possibly have, two thousand years since his life, death, and resurrection, this book does a brilliant job of showing why. Hugely recommended, whether when it comes to Jesus you’re a curious seeker, a puzzled doubter, or a Christian trying to make sense of Jesus in a world of lies and spin."


- Andy Bannister, Director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity

"I read this short book and immediately wrote down the names of friends for whom each chapter was applicable. It brilliantly articulates why they are not giving Jesus further consideration and is so helpful, because it provides both the diagnosis of the lie they’ve believed and the truth about Jesus I’m longing for them to consider."


- Rico Tice, founder, Christianity Explored Ministries

Walking in Light

Stiles’ pastoral burden is that people would embrace the truth of Christ. This book is not designed as an academic exploration of the deceit that characterizes the present age but a straightforward call to repent and believe. With clarity and conviction, he briefly exposes falsehood, presents truth, and offers the hope of restored relationship with the living God. The book will be useful in a variety of contexts including (but not limited to) conversations with unbelievers, discipling young believers, providing conversation material with children, and presenting an opportunity for all believers to assess the messages they imbibe.

Awesome Outreach Tool!

Not only does this book cover some of the most common questions (LIES) that are brought up by unbelievers and even those who may claim to be christian but still have doubts and questions, this book provides clear and direct answers. It would not hurt for even the most mature christian to read this book if for no other reason and a reminder. Def, a book to keep handy in your library. This book is written in such a way that each chapter stands on its own two feet. I like it! ✌🏼&❤️
