The Truth About Lies

Navigating the Dangers of Deception

Think back to the first time you were ever lied to or were deceived into believing something that was not true. It was a personal affront to you. That feeling of betrayal happened because lies and deceit are always directed to another person's mind and heart, whether in a group setting or in a personal setting. An even less comfortable memory perhaps is to recall the first lie to leave your lips towards someone else or the first deceit created in your mind to be launched later towards some innocent victim.

This book exposes the calamities that lies and deceit can bring to an individual as well as to society as a whole. It explores the lies and deceit that we believe internally because of poor self-esteem or because of the negative barbs we absorbed from our family and friends. Without first discovering the truth about ourselves, we are destined to being held captive by incorrect and false ideas that
inevitably control our behavior and relationships with others.

The external influences of our society and culture do not help us either. The book explores the many ways our cultural values have slowly and methodically drifted from the truth into a world of spin. This world can indeed be a dangerous place to live if truth is routinely ignored or distorted. Today there is confusion and illusion from the top levels of society down to the person on Main Street . Our political, business, education and church leaders have let us down and leave us vulnerable to believing what is false and to living “the lie”. Furthermore, the media and the courts blur the truth
and seduce us with deception and half-truths.

The book seeks to expose the truth about lies and to expose the lies about the truth. Its goal is to provide some practical and dependable truth filters for evaluating deception in our world of spin. Even further, the book is proposing some spiritual values and concepts that could lead one into the
personal freedom that only pursuing the truth can provide.

The book is published by Liberty Publishing Group and contains 141 pages. It can be purchased retail at $18.95 at selected local bookstores as well as online through the
