Read With Discernment™
Thank You!
Thank you for taking the time to seek further information on your book purchase.
Our Commitment to Biblical Solutions
We at LifeWay Christian Stores are committed to providing biblical solutions that spiritually transform individuals and cultures. For decades, our customers have thanked us for the high degree of trust they know they can place in us and in the products we sell, and we greatly value that trust.
Our Choice to Meet Customer Needs
Additionally, our customers also have consistently asked us for the ability to choose from a wide variety of Christian products, as they look to us to be the provider for all of their Christian resource needs. While we recognize that almost every title requires some measure of discernment, certain titles should clearly be read with extra discernment.
Our Challenge to be Discerning
We want you to know that the authors of books marked Read with Discernment may have espoused thoughts, ideas, or concepts that could be considered inconsistent with historical evangelical theology.
However, we are making these titles available to our customers (along with the background and additional insight offered here through Read With Discernment) because we believe the books do present content that is relevant and of value to Christians and/or because pastors, seminary students, and other ministry leaders need access to this type of material, strictly for critical study or research to help them understand and develop responses to the diversity of religious thought in today's postmodern world. Our prayer for you is that in whatever you read, you place the material under the magnifying glass of scripture and read with discernment, asking God to reveal His truth to you so that, as Paul wrote in Philippians 1:9-10, "...your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, so that you can determine what really matters and can be pure and blameless in the day of Christ..." (Holman CSB).
