—DANIEL MARITZ, FOUNDER OF DLM CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE AND AUTHOR OF BOLD PURSUIT
“Throughout my reading of Misled, I found myself nodding and agreeing, sometimes out loud, with what Allen writes. I might have even clapped at one point. His approach is firm but fair, calling out the nonsense that can mislead Christians. He points us back to Scripture as the remedy and compass for truth. I have seen all these teachings sneak within Christian circles and churches. Allen succinctly points out the issues and how to equip yourself to avoid being taken captive by their empty promises and harmful doctrines. He has a way of expressing hard truths with love for the lost in mind. Buy two copies of this book. Keep one for yourself and give the other to someone susceptible to being misled.”
—MELISSA DOUGHERTY, APOLOGIST, BLOGGER FOR CROSSEXAMINED.ORG, AND VIDEO CONTENT CREATOR
“As a charismatic who believes in the gifts of the Spirit, I found this book extremely helpful and refreshing. Some critics may have falsely presumed that Allen is attempting to quench the Spirit or discourage the use of spiritual gifts, but after sitting with this book and hearing his heart, I can tell you that is far from true. Allen has laid out a brilliant overview of how operating within the ...

About Misled: 7 Lies That Distort the Gospel (and How You Can Discern the Truth)The gospel is under attack today--not only from outside cultural forces but also from within the church. In Misled, popular YouTuber and Bible teacher Allen Parr equips readers to identify and withstand seven of the most common false teachings that undermine the gospel and lead many well-meaning Christians astray. For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called "another gospel." The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what he offers, and what he wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus. In Misled, Allen Parr weaves together stories from his own spiritual journey and the lives of those he's ministered to in order to show the painful consequences of following false teachings and to provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. Readers will • learn about seven of the most misleading and harmful messages that run rampant within the church today; • be equipped to identify not only "wolves in shepherd's clothing" who peddle counterfeit gospels, but also well-intentioned teachers whose half-truths are no less harmful to the church; and • discover how they can find the freedom, peace, and joy that only comes from embracing the gospel in all its purity and simplicity.
With the same balanced, Bible-based approach that has made Parr's YouTube channel a go-to resource, Misled offers clarity and hope for anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey—and invites readers to find everything they've been searching for in the true gospel. |
