Produktbeschreibung

Our souls long for an elusive freedom-the freedom of truth. And our world desperately needs it, now more than ever. Dare to Be True doesn't downplay the difficulty of living honestly in today's world, but it doesn't throw in the towel, either. In this challenging but encouraging book, Mark Roberts introduces a bold plan to practice complete honesty in every area of our lives-in what we say, in how we live, and in who we are. Combining biblical truth with real-life stories and plenty of practical applications, Roberts helps us experience the rewards of truthfulness-personal wholeness, healthy relationships, and deeper intimacy with God. Set out today on the adventure of truthful living, if you dare!
