Truth on Its Head: Unusual Wisdom in the Paradoxes of the Bible

by Warren W. Wiersbe

Overview

Trusted and respected Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe provides uncommon wisdom based on a lifetime of studying and teaching the Bible. He examines 15 paradoxes of the Christian life-things that seem counter-intuitive at first but eventually make good sense. According to the author, "Paradoxes attract our attention, challenge our faith, and provoke us into thinking deeper and asking wiser questions. They lead us into truths that, if we act upon them, will help us to grow out of spiritual childhood and into the blessings of spiritual maturity."
