Core Lies – Discovering and Dealing With the Lies We Don’t Even Know We Believe

by Sarah Mae

Below the flesh, creeping behind bone, in secret places of the spirit, lie wounds. These wounds, these sin stuck wounds, they self-protect, they build walls, they leak venom. We deny the truth when we live out of our wounds. We believe lies.

And lies make us slaves.

But there is hope. We can learn how to identify these destructive lies and then begin to root them out so we can see the truth clearly. In uncovering our lies and dealing with them we will find the freedom to be who God intends us to be; we can live authentically. The transformation from wound-living to freedom-living will allow us to love God and love others without fear.

Let’s begin.

Reviews

This book introduces the concept of Core Lies and gives working space to apply it personally. I wish there had been a bit more to the book. Additional examples. I tried working out some of this but I think I need more guidance.

Could have been good, but some things identified here as lies are actually Truth, esp. In regard to self-image.

I think it might resound for some people, but I don't feel like the content was on target for me personally.

[Brooke Fradd · Rating 4 out of 5]

this is a very short book (more like booklet) but has some thought provoking ideas. including some discussion questions which dig into the heart of the lies we believe.

[Kristin · Rating 3 out of 5]

About a 20 minute read and good reminder to regularly examine our core beliefs that may be lies affecting us and our relationships with others, and how to reclaim the truth that sets us free.
