We should be compelled to put aside the lies of our natural father, the devil, and to embrace the life-giving truth and the heart of our adoptive Father, God Himself. "Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name."-Ps. 86:11

Jesus, who is Himself truth, has promised not just to reveal truth to you and me, but to give us the strength to obey, and in so doing, to set us free (John 8:32). To be this kind of a man is to be a free man, to be anchored by the truth, to build our lives on the solid Rock. This is a lifelong struggle; the devil is relentless. Persistent. But we, by God's leading, move from grace to grace, from faith to faith, from truth to truth ... from glory to glory (2 Cor. 3:18).

I wonder if Adam determined he would rather live with his wife's approval under God's curse than to be without her affirmation under God's blessing.

When you and I fall prey to lies, the reason is more likely to be pride and less likely to be gullibility. In the moment, we think we know better than God. We know in our heart and our conscience what is right, but we choose what is wrong.

Since then this message has reached millions of women and been translated into dozens of languages. But I’ve often been asked about a ‘male counterpart’ to the book.
