Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller by Senator Al Franken, author of Giant of the Senate Al Franken, one of our “savviest satirists” (People), has been studying the rhetoric of the Right. He has listened to their cries of “slander,” “bias,” and even “treason.” He has examined the GOP's policies of squandering our surplus, ravaging the environment, and alienating the rest of the world. He’s even watched Fox News. A lot. And, in this fair and balanced report, Al bravely and candidly exposes them all for what they are: liars. Lying, lying liars. Al destroys the liberal media bias myth by doing what his targets seem incapable of: getting his facts straight. Using the Right’s own words against them, he takes on the pundits, the politicians, and the issues, in the most talked about book of the year. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies sticks it to the most right-wing administration in memory, and to the right-wing media hacks who do its bidding.

Lies, Lies, and More Lies!

Book Description
LIES, LIES, and MORE LIES is an effort to address ultimate questions of truth and falsehood in a biblical, comprehensive, antithetical, and yet very practical way. Truth is more than words. Truth is embodied in Jesus Christ, who is the origin and ultimate standard of it. Falsehood is distortion of God's truth and can be found everywhere. We must confront it. We must equip our children to identify and to resist it. Norman De Jong has been an educator since 1958 and a pastor since 1993. He received a Ph.D. in Educational Philosophy from the University of Iowa in 1972. His dissertation focused on the relationship between "democracy" and the Kingdom of God. Dr. De Jong has served churches and schools in Australia, Cyprus, Kenya, Newfoundland, South Africa, and the United States. The antithetical relationship between truth and falsehood has been of concern to him since becoming a teacher. Dedicated to a study of God's most Holy Word, he has been testing ideas to see if they come from God or have been distorted by the devil. Dr. De Jong has been married for 50+ years and has been blessed with three children and thirteen grandchildren. It is his desire that they learn the truth and reject falsehood. Norman De Jong tells it like it is. But in this book he does something far more important and helpful than merely sorting out the truth-tellers from the liars. He gives the reader tools for making those distinctions on his own. He shows the reader how to develop both an objective and an intuitive sense for knowing whether the truth is being told in any given situation. That is a profound and critical gift in this relativistic age. JOEL BELZ, Founder, World Magazine.

Lying

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 113

Book Description
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption—even murder and genocide—generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, best-selling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on "white" lies—those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort—for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.
