I Told Me So: The Role of Self-Deception in Christian Living, by Gregg A. Ten Elshof
Facilitator: Tim Heerts, Director of EAP Services, Key Solutions EAP
On Tuesday, December 7th, at 7:00 pm, SQUARE—a readers’ forum sponsored by Oak Hills—will be discussing Gregg A. Ten Elshof’s I Told Me So: Self-Deception and the Christian Life. Our discussion will be held in room 213 of the Cleveland Center on the campus of USF.
Every now and again, one stumbles across a book that seems so incredibly relevant that one wonders how it went so long without being written. I Told Me So is one of those books, receiving a 2010 Christianity Today Book Award in the “Christian Living” category. In the beginning of his book, Ten Elshof cites the statistic that 94 percent of college professors believe their job performance is better-than-average. : ) Sixty percent of high-school seniors think they are in the top ten percent when it comes to getting along with others. Clearly, our capacity for self-deception is such that it must impact our Christian walk as well. Ten Elshof explores this impact in ways that are certain to spark some meaningful and, perhaps, uncomfortable reflection.
We invite you to secure a copy of the book and join us for what promises to be an intriguing and lively discussion. Additional information about SQUARE and Ten Elshof’s book will soon be available on the Oak Hills website.
