Hamilton, Adam. Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn't Say. Abingdon Press, ©2016.  ( 230 Hamilton. Also available: separate DVD, & Leader Guide)  True or false: 1. Everything happens for a reason. 2. God helps those who help themselves. 3. God won't give you more than you can handle. 4. God said it, I believe it, that settles it. 5. Love the sinner, hate the sin. We've heard these phrases all of our lives. Adam Hamilton discusses how they capture some element of truth, but when compared to the wisdom found in Scripture, they're really just common Christian clichés.  A five-week, DVD study for small groups is also available, and a separate Leader Guide is designed for a 6-week study, including session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options. The guide centers on the book, videos, and Scripture.
