Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

The gospel is under attack today—not only from outside cultural forces but also from within the church. In Misled, popular YouTuber and Bible teacher Allen Parr equips listeners to identify and withstand seven of the most common false teachings that undermine the gospel and lead many well-meaning Christians astray.

For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called "another gospel."

The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what he offers, and what he wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus.

In Misled, Allen Parr weaves together stories from his own spiritual journey and the lives of those he's ministered to in order to show the painful consequences of following false teachings and to provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. Listeners will

• learn about seven of the most misleading and harmful messages that run rampant within the church today;
• be equipped to identify not only "wolves in shepherd's clothing" who peddle counterfeit gospels, but also well-intentioned teachers whose half-truths are no less harmful to the church; and
• discover how they can find the freedom, peace, and joy that only comes from embracing the gospel in all its purity and simplicity.

With the same balanced, Bible-based approach that has made Parr's YouTube channel a go-to resource, Misled offers clarity and hope for anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey—and invites listeners to find everything they've been searching for in the true gospel.

Thank you

This was a great listening for me to better understand how I should be studying the Word.

Accurately led by Misled.

I really enjoyed listening to the story of Jeran…and it’s happy ending. I recommended this book to several close friends. Five stars in each category was the most appropriate score for Misled. Congrats for such an excellent book!

Solid teaching

I’ve been struggling with confusion from false teachings from three churches in my lifetime. This book helped me know I was not wrong leaving and gives me a guideline of what to look hit as I search for a healthy, scripturally sound church. I highly recommend for all Christians as sometimes these things creep in and noticed until the church is caught up in it. This would be a great addition to any library.

Accurate. Timely. Culturally Relevant.

I wish I had this rich teaching when I began my Christian journey over 20 years ago! In this book, the author addresses some of the prevalent false doctrines that hinder genuine believers from understanding and embracing the true message of the gospel of Jesus Christ—doing so with clarity, compassion, and comprehensive scriptural support.

Using a conversational style, he hits on the topics that most preachers and teachers shy away from in our community, such as God’s grace and the doctrine of eternal security.

Having come of age during the Word of Faith and prosperity movements, I appreciate that God has positioned skilled teachers to set the record straight about what constitutes true righteousness so that believers can stop floating from false doctrine to false doctrine and start or resume their journey to know God more, experience Him more deeply, and increase their spiritual capacity. I highly recommend this book!

Best Christian Book in a long time.

I really liked the topics that Allen Parr addressed in this book. Allen has a smooth voice and never missed a beat explaining everything through his character in the book. I would highly recommend this book to any Christian trying to explain how we should use God's Word and not some of today's made up doctrine in Churches.today.

A Great, Eye Opening Read!

Regardless of where you stand, this book is worth a read! Parr makes a lot of great points of truth.

insightful yet Simple

Christian teens and adults can gather knowledge from these examples, and through application, and the grace of Christ, maybe some wisdom too.

God senf

I backslide, repent and came back to God recently. This book reassure me in His Word and in God,
Thank you very much.
