This book asks the hard, forbidden, or taboo questions about Christianity—and offers surprising biblical answers you may never hear in church.“Don’t ask too many questions. Just go with the flow.” It seems like there are a lot of questions about Christianity we’re not supposed to ask—at least not in church. If we do ask them and arrive at surprising answers, we might ruffle too many feathers—a prospect scary enough to encourage most of us to keep our questions to ourselves. For too many people, the result is a shallow or shipwrecked faith. With refreshing honesty, Andrew Farley upends the taboos in this bold new book. Among the questions he tackles:• Are any sins unforgivable?• Can we lose our salvation?• Am I really supposed to give 10 percent of my income to the church?• Are divorce and remarriage wrong for a Christian? Andrew’s challenging, no-nonsense style—soaked in grace and grounded in Scripture—offers a radical new outlook on the nature of God and His boundless love for you. Prepare to be surprised by what you read. The answers to your questions may be even better than you think.

Should Your Heart Be Tested or Trusted? Many believers are convinced they have a "deceitful" and "wicked" heart that is not to be trusted. Theirs is a faith of duty and obligation--only a faint imitation of the full and abundant life Jesus promised.

There's a place of purity within you where Jesus lives. God calls you to live from this perfect place--not merely from your head, but from your heart. Knowing the perfect you means no more waiting for closeness with God. Knowing the perfect you brings a freedom in Jesus that you've never experienced before. "In this captivating book, Andrew Farley and Tim Chalas invite you to celebrate God's perfect (and accurate ) view of you." --BART MILLARD, singer/songwriter for MercyMe
