261: Wm. Paul Young - Lies We Believe About God

<p>Honored to welcome Wm. Paul Young to The Shaun Tabatt Show. We talk about <a href="https://amzn.to/2LHGaZL" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>The Shack</em></a>, living life with no secrets, and a few of the bold statements he makes in his book <a href="https://amzn.to/2XywzXB" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Lies We Believe About God</em></a>.</p> <p><strong>About the Book:</strong>  From the author of the twenty million plus copy bestselling novel <em>The Shack</em> and the <em>New York Times bestsellers</em> <em>Cross Roads</em> and <em>Eve </em>comes a compelling, conversational exploration of the wrong-headed ideas we sometimes have and share about God.<br /> <br /> Wm. Paul Young has been called a heretic for the ways he vividly portrays God's love through his novels. Here he shares twenty-eight commonly uttered and sometimes seemingly innocuous things we say about God. Paul exposes these as lies that keep us from having a full, loving relationship with our Creator.<br /> <br /> With personal anecdotes and sharing the compassion readers felt from the "Papa" portrayed in <em>The Shack</em>—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages readers to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God's deep and abiding love.</p> <p><strong>About the Author:</strong>  William Paul Young was born in Canada and raised among a Stone Age tribe by his missionary parents in the highlands of former New Guinea. He suffered great loss as a child and young adult and now enjoys the "wastefulness of grace" with his family in the Pacific Northwest. He is the author of <em>Lies We Believe About God </em>and the <em>New York Times</em> bestsellers <em>The Shack</em>, <em>Cross Roads</em>, and <em>Eve</em>.</p> <p>Connect with Paul:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://wmpaulyoung.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">WmPaulYoung.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheShackOfficial" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/wmpaulyoung/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/wmpaulyoung" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li> </ul> <p>For additional show notes, visit <a href="http://ShaunTabatt.com/261" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ShaunTabatt.com/261</a>.</p>
