Isn't the Bible supposed to be the Word of God written by those solely inspired by the Holy Spirit? No doubt Satan lies; but certainly not Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Samson, or David! The Bible-though the actual infallible Word of God-contains LIES! Author Patricia Von Johnson's work is a comprehensive study of lies, liars, and lying in the Bible. LIES TOLD IN THE BIBLE is full of Holy Spirit-inspired understanding and thought-provoking truths; as well as a sure conversation starter. Using actual Bible text examples, some stories cited will be familiar, others will surprise readers when realizing that they are reading an account of an unmistakable lie; one significant enough to be recorded in the Word of God, for students of life to learn from.
