Being a Christian Without Being an Idiot!

11 Assumed Truths That Make Us Look Stupid

De: Brad Stine

Narrado por: Brad Stine

Jesus said, "The truth shall set you free," which, by implication, must mean, "The false will imprison you." From personal experiences in his ministry through comedy, Brad Stine has chosen 11 concepts to consider as a Christian, like:

• All "true" Christians will be offended by the same things
• Sinners are worse people than I am

Are they really true, or do we just believe them to be credible - even though there's no biblical support for them? More importantly, how does the belief in their veracity affect non-believers if we're wrong?

Brad has carefully considered these ideas, as well as lived many of them. Some of you may disagree with some of his conclusions, but if this book causes you to reevaluate what your faith means to you and in what shape it can come to you, then it has done its job.

Christians are different from each other in our theology, denominations, and social interactions, and you know what? That's as it should be! Christians who have taken the "If you don't all behave exactly like me, then you're not really a Christian" road have done the greatest disservice to furthering the Gospel!

great book

great book by a non politically correct comedian. he lays it down and challenges you from a down to earth pov.

What an eye opener!

Here I thought I was going to listen to just humor and appreciate a few smiles. This book was a mix of humor, family stories and quite a Civics lesson, with a hearty dash of Biblical wisdom. I’m still digesting all I heard and I’m quite impressed by this book. I definitely recommend this book to anyone left who hasn’t lost their mind to political correctness. Please give us more Brad Stine

Brad Stone is spot on in his observations

This book is a must for Christians looking to understand human behavior and not go crazy doing it.

Great author

Great author and great book with funny facts and funny knowledge from The Bible definitely recommend for some laughs with spiritual insights.

From one church black sheep to another.

I rarely write an actual review of any audiobooks even though I listen to many of them, but I just enjoyed this one that much. I would've finished it sooner, maybe even in one day as to how much I enjoyed it, but I wanted to listen to it accompanied by my fiancee. Both of us grew up being taught a ton of religious toxicity and I can see this audiobook being one of many things that toss around ideas that slowly set-particularly her-free. The church desperately needs people like Mr. Stine to encourage welcoming diversity of thought and personality differences.

Excellent!!

Brad Stine does not disappoint! Loved his honesty and common sense. See for yourself.

A much needed look at ourselves...

For a book written by a comic, I was unsurprised that it was delivered with much hilarity; the seriousness of the overall message, however, is one that believers desperately need to hear in America today. Stine delivers this message concisely, hysterically at times, yet unapologetically and with the love we, as believers, are called to exhibit.
I'm so glad I decided to buy this book.
The body of Christ in America needs a splash of cold water on our faces. We've got to wake up and realize that we must do better, we must BE better, and the time for quiet acquiescence to the culture is long past.

Thank you Brad Stine, for waving the red flag to get our attention. Well done.

author is hysterical with good purpose

ironic humor makes people think. I can see why the author is called God's comic! I love it! This man deserves some serious credit for bringing clean comedy up to the secular comedic standard

Great stuff. Read read this book.

Brad Stine was very raw, open, and humble in this book and the stories he shared from his life. I appreciate him being real, instead of pretending he has it all together. My personal favorite it his testimony to sobriety. It made me cry, and I could totally relate.

I learned a lot from this book. And could hardly stop listening at the end of each chapter.

I also appreciate his personal narration. It wouldn’t be the same if someone else read it!

Thank you Brad for sharing Truth spoken in Love and humor, unapologetically! The last chapter on political correctness was an eye opener.

Loved it!

Loved it! Kept me engaged and I really enjoyed his point of view and delivery. I think he's a great comedian and an excellent writer! I would read more of his books.
