Phil Callaway in his new book, “To Be Perfectly Honest” published by WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group shows us One Man’s Year of Almost Living Truthfully Could Change Your Life. No Lie.

In The Bible we are told to not lie to one another.  Paul makes it perfectly clear that there is no place in Heaven for liars, yet, we as a people, seem to lie all the time.  We excuse this behavior because we told a little white lie.  Yet, God sees every lie the same.  What do we do?

Phil Callaway was given the assignment to give up any lies for a whole year and write about the experience.  Now this could turn out to be a really dry, weary march through 365 days but it turns out that, among other things, Mr. Callaway is also a comedian.  So get ready to laugh.

“To Be Perfectly Honest” is not a humor book so it won’t be found in the humor section of the bookstore.  It is a book of human behavior and about how much we need God to change the very nature in our lives.  Telling a lie, any kind of lie, all goes back to Adam and Eve in The Garden and we need God’s help even more today.  Phil Callaway knows how to deliver truth that we can take because he provides it with lots of humor.  Some of it is really funny, others not so but everywhere there is truth delivered in a subtle manner.  I recommend this book and, if you are like me, you will find yourself in these pages somewhere and still laugh.
