Title: Not What I Expected, Still Excellent
Product review: I expected this book to take a cold, brutal look at lies, the different kinds, and why we tell them. However the book no where near met my expectation. But the odd part was, it was still excellent.In each chapter, the author presents a quote, then a Biblical quote, and then a story where someone lied, and gently exposes why they might have lied and the outcomes. Almost like mini-sermons. Then at the end of the chapter there are some questions for self reflection.Repeated encounters with different kinds of lies, different reasons, and different outcomes you start to strongly rethink your own attitude towards lying. I can definately see why this book has been so well received.While there exists Christian references and overtones, the non-Christian will get a few mind-bending surprises about their own views of situational ethics. Things really are more black and white then they are grey.
