Book starts good and not long into it writer reveals he is a liberal after praising Obama as a truth saint and saying Trump is a liar. For the wriiter to use the Washington post for a truth statement is a total joke. Stopped reading it and thru it in the trash.

Had I known this would be the most dishonest book, I would have never purchased it. The main idea is listed

as don't believe the devil's lies. Of course, that's the draw to get this book. This author has a major political agenda.

It's funny he keeps stating he does not. However, he praises Obama and trashes Trump. If I wanted to read political lies

I'd watch the news. It's disgusting the deception that describes this book to make you want to buy it

I threw it in the trash.

I really enjoyed the newest book by John Mark Comer, Live No Lies! He writes with wisdom and insight in a relatable, down-to-earth way. The way he broke down and expounded on the common Christian phrase - the world, the flesh, and the devil - opened my eyes to the insidious spiritual warfare we face daily. He addressed issues and topics we face in our culture and political landscape without leaning more towards one political party; I thought he did a great job sticking to Biblical truth.

One of my favorite parts was the summary at the end of each section with definitions, key Scriptures, key points, and a summary of the book as a whole so far. It helps collect your thoughts and have a quick reference point to go back to. The message of this book is one I believe the church desperately needs to hear today. It is a combination of cultural commentary, impactful theology, and practical advice. I highly recommend this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Do you believe there is a spiritual battle? John Mark Comer does and he clearly identifies our enemy as Satan. He balances biblical theology with current events and trends and speaks truth into our contemporary and confused culture. He is an astute observer of people and trends and a brilliant voice for today. Live No Lies tackles the deceptive ideas that surround us and the way these mingle with our desires that have become normal in our society. JMC uses the biblical lens of the world, the flesh, and the devil to demolish the faulty ideas we embrace and live. He calls out the elephant in the room and then he offers hope to identify, to fight, and to defeat these deceptions. I expect this book will turn out to be the best book I read in 2021.

I was provided with a digital copy of the book for my honest review.

Written in an approachable style, this book shows off John Mark's skillful ability to distill the best information on a given topic down to accessible concepts. It flowed beautifully between dissecting the problem and offering biblical hope in the form of practical actions that are essential to following Jesus in this day and age. During the thoughtful and thorough critique of the problems (the three enemies), he doesn't leave you there, thank goodness. He follows up with everyday tools to combat each enemy in your life (there's even a worksheet in the back based on a book by a fourth century monk - love it!). Be ready for some philosophy, psychology, and of course, solid, biblical theology. It's challenging, convicting, and somehow, leaves you encouraged and definitely empowered. As a fellow Portlander, I've unfortunately seen too many family member and friends start to 'live lies' and eventually fall away from the way of Jesus altogether. That is why this book feels so very important and deeply needed for believers in our time. Wherever you're at, it's one that will stay with you, and you'll return to again as you put into practice the practices.
