What if everything you thought you knew about faith was wrong? In his new book, Granger Smith takes you on a raw, unfiltered journey through the misconceptions, half-truths, and widely accepted norms that kept him from truly knowing Jesus. With the vulnerability of a grieving father, the insight of a seasoned storyteller, and the urgency of a man transformed, Granger unpacks 11 misguided beliefs that many people unknowingly cling to--beliefs that distort our view of God, faith, and ourselves.
From the subtle traps of cultural Christianity to the idols we unknowingly worship, this book is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck in a shallow, stagnant faith. Or anyone who never truly surrendered their life to Jesus. Granger weaves personal stories of heartbreak and redemption with biblical truths, challenging readers to confront anything that is not the life-changing power of the gospel. Inside, you'll discover:
- Why "being a good person" isn't enough to save you.
- How misplaced identity can lead to spiritual emptiness.
- The dangers of living in sin while claiming peace with God.
- Why true faith is more than a declaration--it's a lifestyle.
- How to break free from our idols that promise everything but deliver nothing.
Granger doesn't shy away from hard truths, but this isn't just a book about diagnosis--it's about hope. Through his own story of loss and renewal, he points readers to the only cure: a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Whether you're wrestling with doubt, stuck in spiritual mediocrity, or simply searching for something more, Granger invites you to examine the foundation of your faith, confront any lies you've been believing, and discover the joy of truly knowing and following Jesus.
