This book asks the hard, forbidden, or taboo questions about Christianity—and offers surprising biblical answers you may never hear in church. “Don’t ask too many questions. Just go with the flow.” It seems like there are a lot of questions about Christianity we’re not supposed to ask—at least not in church. If we do ask them and arrive at surprising answers, we might ruffle too many feathers—a prospect scary enough to encourage most of us to keep our questions to ourselves. For too many people, the result is a shallow or shipwrecked faith. With refreshing honesty, Andrew Farley upends the taboos in this bold new book. Among the questions he tackles: • Are any sins unforgivable? • Can we lose our salvation? • Am I really supposed to give 10 percent of my income to the church? • Are divorce and remarriage wrong for a Christian? Andrew’s challenging, no-nonsense style—soaked in grace and grounded in Scripture—offers a radical new outlook on the nature of God and His boundless love for you. Prepare to be surprised by what you read. The answers to your questions may be even better than you think.

Jesus called his followers to exchange the heavy yoke around their necks for his light one. So why are so many Christians feeling weighed down and burned out? The simple answer is that they are being told from many pulpits across the country what they "should be" doing for God.
Bestselling author Andrew Farley calls this for what it is--works-based religion--and then shares with readers biblical wisdom on the neglected art of resting in Christ. Anyone longing to experience true release from the crushing expectations that the world throws their way will find life and rest in Farley's revolutionary message.

We all experience fear, shame, loneliness, broken homes, or broken hearts. We all hurt and need true, lasting healing. The trouble, according to bestselling author Andrew Farley and Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe, is that we don't know where to find it.
Inspired by MercyMe's #1 hit song of the same name, "The Hurt & The Healer" reveals exactly how God can be the gentle healer of all our hurts. Writing from the pain they've experienced in their lives, Millard and Farley reveal how their own struggles caused them to feel they had disappointed God. Through their biblical guidance, readers will see that God wants them to be open and honest about their pain. Only then can they discover how to exchange destructive thinking patterns for God's view of them and watch as God's perfect love casts away all their fears.

Bestselling author Andrew Farley takes readers on an imaginative journey through the enemy's plan of attack. This creative, modern-day parable exposes evangelical readers to the reality of the supernatural and equips them to do battle against the hidden--but very real--realm of Satan and his demonic forces. Now in paper.

What do you do when you feel unworthy? How do you find freedom from shame, guilt, and sin?

We've boiled down the message of Christianity to being imperfect people who have been forgiven. But what if the message isn't just about what Christ has done for us--forgiving our sins so we can go to heaven one day--but also about what He has done to us?

Life is filled with shame, guilt, sin, and hurt. These things have convinced us that we're flawed, we're not enough, and that something is uniquely wrong with who we are. And quite honestly, we look to Christianity for help and the message we often hear leaves us disappointed, doubtful, and disillusioned.

Zach Maldonado has experienced this firsthand. But he's discovered that who we truly are is not found in what we've done or what we've gone through. In Perfect and Forgiven, Zach takes us into his own journey of identity, and with humor, vulnerability, and a unique story-driven format, reveals how to live free from shame, guilt, and sin.

Through understanding who you are in Christ, you can begin to live free from the shame that condemns you, the guilt that riddles you, and the sin that entangles you.

He says the heaven we can experience in this life lies within us, far beyond the reach of the world--but well within our grasp.

I found myself lying on the floor of my apartment, sobbing for hours on end: 'God, I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do, and I still don't feel closer to you. In fact, I feel worse than ever! How could this have gone wrong? I can't see any way out. Help me.'As a university student, Andrew Farley found himself physically and emotionally addicted to street evangelism and Bible study.
