Misled: 7 Lies That Distort the Gospel (and How You Can Discern the Truth) by Allen Parr

A remarkable overview of some of the biggest misleading doctrines that plague Christian and “Christian” spheres today. The author does an excellent job of sifting and discerning false and flawed teachings  such as the prosperity gospel, word of faith/positive confession, progressive Christianity, continuationism, and the idea that one can lose their salvation. Very theologically sound and well-rooted in a proper interpretation of Scripture. It provided a lot more clarity for me on these issues—while I know that these misleading beliefs aren’t scriptural, it’s easy to forget exactly why and good to be reminded. In addition to being encouraging for brushing up on discernment for my own personal walk, it’s also helpful in providing some talking points for when I find myself discussing these things with people who have gravitated toward false teaching in the church. One of those books that any believer could benefit from, newer and mature Christians alike.
