DESCRIPTION:
In the words of the author, “I want to help you throw out that toxic faith and bring you back to the real thing.”. Those who possess a toxic faith have stepped across the line from a balanced perspective of God to an unbalanced faith in a weak, powerless or uncaring God. They seek a God to fix every mess, prevent every hurt, and mend every conflict.Toxic Faith distinguishes between a healthy faith and a misguided religiosity that traps believers in an addictive practice of religion. Toxic Faith shows readers how to find hope for a return to genuine, healthy faith that can add meaning to life.

Toxic Faith Lisa Every Christian needs to read this book. The last church I attended was toxic but when I was in it I didn't fully realize it. I kept making excuses for the pastor's behavior (and the church leadership's behavior). Leaving that church was like coming out of a fog.
