Distorted Images of God

Restoring Our Vision

About this book

Though we say God is loving, trustworthy and all-powerful, our actions and thoughts reveal the subtle and not-so-subtle lies we're believing: that God is impossible to please, manipulative, and likely to abandon us.

Written with compassion and conviction, this eight-session LifeGuide® Bible Study brings to light our distorted thinking and points us to the truth of who God is—the great healer who knows us intimately and pursues us with love.

LifeGuide Bible studies feature:

  • A guide to getting the most out of the study, including suggestions for how to participate in individual or group study.
  • Leader's notes for preparation and leading a group through the study.
  • "Now or Later" section following each session to help you act on what you learn.
  • Trustworthy biblical wisdom from experienced authors.
