It was the Greeks who said great communicators embodied logos (content), ethos (ethics or integrity), and pathos (passion). Well, if that be the case, then Robert Wolgemuth has checked all three boxes in this much-needed volume, Lies Men Believe. I found my heart greatly stirred as I read these inspiring words all from a man who has built a lifetime walking with Jesus and living in authentic manhood. You will be a better man after drinking in these words.

It took a long time and some unexpected circumstances for there to be a companion volume to Lies Women Believe, but in Gods good and mysterious providence it is here at last. Im thankful for Roberts efforts in writing a book that so wonderfully complements Nancys. This book will prove to be both a challenge and a blessing to you.

When presented with the opportunity, I didnt immediately read Roberts manuscript. Not seeing myself as a lie believer, I felt no urgency. Now, I stand correctedand grateful! Those of us who know Robert regard him as accomplished, gifted, and wise. Hes ready for anything and gracious in everything. As you will discover in this volume, hes also candid in exploring the challenges men face. Learning from him was like a workout for the soul, leaving me convicted and inspired. There were moments when I flushed with emotion, and others that left me galvanized with resolve. Lies Men Believe is personally relevant to every man and will prompt you to do business with Godas I did. I highly recommend it.

The most dangerous lies are always the most alluring. They come to us in the guise of the good, the delightful, and the wise (Gen. 3:6). Thankfully, in this insightful and practical book, Robert Wolgemuth not only unmasks those lies, he teaches us how to recognize them for what they are. If only Id had this book forty years ago!

Even though the most prominent word on the cover of this book is Lies, I know from experience that the most important word can be found in the subtitle. Its Truth. This is a book about truth the power of truth. Truth that sets a man free. And this truth can be found in the absolute reliability of Gods Word, the Bible.

For many years, I have had the privilege of preaching the gospel the good news of Jesus Christ who is, Himself, the Truth. This book, Lies Men Believe, identifies some of the awful things Satan whispers in our ears lies that are shattered because of freedom that Gods grace and His truth provide. Im thankful to Robert Wolgemuth for putting this in writing and I enthusiastically recommend this book to you.

Youll find that reading Lies Men Believe, with its warm, relatable style, is like having a conversation with a good friend. Be prepared, in the process, to grapple with some tough issues. And be prepared to experience the liberating power of the Truthin your own life, and in the lives of those you influence.

D r. David Swanson was my pastor for over twelve years. In 2003, I had the joy of chairing the pastor nominating committee that invited David, along with his wife, Leigh, and their three kids, J. D., Alex, and Kaylee, to come to our Orlando church. They said yes.
