Don't Check Your Brains At The Door


I got this as an eBook from Book Sneeze.  This is my 5th eBook from them.  Originally I wanted this book in print for my kids to use as reference, but I missed the time when it came out by 1 day and all available print copies were gone.  So, here I am with the eBook.

This book did not take me long to read and is a fairly easy read for an adult.  I did not go through the "Brain Food" exercises in each of the 42 chapters.  This book is broken down into Myths in the following areas:
  • Myths About God
  • Myths About Jesus
  • Myths About the Bible
  • Myths About the Resurrection
  • Myths About Religion & Christianity
  • Myths About Life & Happiness
The latter 2 sections had a lot more examples.  This book is appropo for teenagers and those entering teenage years.  I have a 7 & a 10 yr old and I will be getting this book in hard copy for them to do.  Though my kids are a little younger, as a family we regularly read & discuss the Bible.

I love how each chapter is short, an explanation of what the LIE is and the Scripture backing & argument for it.  It doesn't go very deep into the argument, but it's a starting point for study on any of the topics.  To go through 42 different LIES, have "homework" to do, it gives whomever is doing the "Brain Food" work things to think about, as well as to discuss with others to better help understand what one believes.

The topics of the myths are things kids and even adults will come across.  I think this book was well-organized and very appropriate.
