Today is the day! 'The War on Reality' has officially been released, and Frank and Phoenix are celebrating by turning the spotlight on a question that might ruffle a few feathers: Can Christians fall into the same trap of trying to bend reality to fit what they want to believe? From health, wealth, and prosperity theology, to manifestation and Christian occultism, they examine popular teachings that sound biblical, but fall apart once you put them back into context. You'll learn: -- What is the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and what does it teach us about the limits of our words and personal beliefs? -- Does Proverbs 18:21 (and other related Bible verses) teach that our words have power? -- What do exegesis and eisegesis have to do with spotting bad theology? -- Why is it important to distinguish between psychological and spiritual definitions of manifestation? -- What's the difference between biblical prayer and trying to manipulate spiritual outcomes? -- What is “Christian occultism,” and could some Christians be practicing it without realizing it? -- How did Phoenix work her way out of Word of Faith and deliverance ministry theology? -- What questions can you ask someone caught up in Word of Faith or New Thought beliefs? 'The War on Reality' isn’t just about confronting bad ideas in the culture. Sometimes Christians need to take a hard look at the ideas circulating inside the Church, too. Don't forget to grab your copy to explore even more topics related to these important cultural issues!
