The Truth About Lies by J. Mack Stiles | Gospel-Centred Truth for a Confused World (Paperback) by J Mack Stiles

The world is full of lies—but God's Word offers lasting truth.

In The Truth About Lies, J. Mack Stiles explores eight powerful cultural messages that sound appealing but quietly lead us away from the truth of the gospel. From ideas like "I don't matter" to "death is the end," these subtle distortions are often accepted without question.

With clarity and compassion, Stiles helps readers uncover the roots of these lies and respond with Scripture. This short, engaging, and highly readable book is ideal for young adults, students, youth groups, and anyone looking for truth amid a world of half-truths and slogans.

It’s more than a critique of culture—it’s an invitation to find something better: the liberating truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

"Jesus is relevant to your life today. And tomorrow. And every day until you die. And even (and maybe most importantly) the days after you die. I dare you to read this book, realize the lies that so subtly deceive us, and see the truth that has power to transform us, now and forever."

- David Platt, author, pastor, and founder of Radical

"What a splendid little book, filled with enough simple truths and profound good news to change your life. In his disarming, yet unflinching way, Mack introduces us to Jesus Christ and tells us how we can live forever. What could be more important than that?"

- Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, North Carolina

"Stiles answers some of the most common questions I've heard about Christianity with winsome respectfulness and biblical faithfulness. To my friends who don't yet know Jesus, I pray this brief Q&A would shine the truth like a flood lamp on your path."

- Gloria Furman, author of Missional Motherhood and A Tale of Two Kings

"In this brilliantly written and thought-provoking book, J. Mack Stiles tackles some of the biggest lies doing the rounds — both the lies lurking in our culture and the lies we are tempted to tell ourselves — and shows how the timeless wisdom of Jesus of Nazareth time after time cuts through the confusion. Whether you’re confused about your identity, your value, what God might think of you, what it means to be “good”, or how to navigate a world of so many beliefs and “truth claims”, The Truth About Lies helps bring clarity to the chaos. And if you’ve ever wondered what relevance the message of Jesus could possibly have, two thousand years since his life, death, and resurrection, this book does a brilliant job of showing why. Hugely recommended, whether when it comes to Jesus you’re a curious seeker, a puzzled doubter, or a Christian trying to make sense of Jesus in a world of lies and spin."

- Andy Bannister, Director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity

"I read this short book and immediately wrote down the names of friends for whom each chapter was applicable. It brilliantly articulates why they are not giving Jesus further consideration and is so helpful, because it provides both the diagnosis of the lie they’ve believed and the truth about Jesus I’m longing for them to consider."

- Rico Tice, founder, Christianity Explored Ministries
