Amazing Read

Reviewed by Carol Hoyer for Reader Views (7/08) Mr. Rich's book has really shocked me in that all the popular beliefs I was told while growing up are not really in the Bible! He gives us 10 popular beliefs that we all have been told at one time or another and still believe today. Think about some of these beliefs that you grew up with: When We Die We Become Angels; God Helps Those Who Help Themselves; or, We Are God's Co-Pilots. None of these are supported by any scriptures in the Bible - society gives credit to man for all his successes or failures, none is given to God for his participation. There is a reason for everything that happens in our lives and God is the one who makes those decisions - not us. As I read this book, I kept shaking my head. These were all beliefs that I learned and had taught my children without thinking if they were correct or not. Mr. Rich's ability to make clear statements, providing scriptures to back his statements up, makes you really think about who is in control of your life. "You Mean That Isn't in the Bible?" is a book that everyone should read to reassess their relationship with God.

When We Die, We Become Angels. God Wants us to be rich, the never ending war between God and Satan...all beliefs so often spoken, but none of them have roots in the bible.

After explaining the fiction of these common beliefs, Rich explains why what the bible truly says is better as a whole for humanity. "You Mean That Isn't In the Bible: 10 Popular Beliefs That Simply Aren't True" is highly recommended for community library Christian studies collections.

Makes You Think

This book covers what the author believes to ten misconceptions that Christians should be aware of. Author David rich exposes popular beliefs that the he believes aren't true; things that some might believe are in the Bible but he believes aren't. This book was well written and easy to read. It really made me think and dig into God's Word for myself. While I agreed with most of this book, there were a few chapters where I did not see eye to eye with the author. I suggest you read this book with an open mind. The author makes many good points, but I suggest you be like the "Bereans" and search the Scriptures for yourself.
