The Lie

Revised and expanded for this special 25th anniversary edition, Ken Ham once again takes the lead in pointing out the imminent precipice toward which too many church leaders are running: a denial of the full authority and accuracy of the Bible from its very first verse. In addition, Ken powerfully shows how the ideas of evolution and millions of years are leading young people away from the Christian faith, and provides sound biblical solutions to change the situation. This book, first published in 1987, took a firm stance that proved to be prophetic. Ken warned the church about the destructive effects of compromising with evolutionary/millions-of-years ideas. He warned that compromising on Genesis would weaken biblical authority in culture and erode confidence in the infallibility of God's Word. Today, Christians (and those considering the Christian faith) increasingly doubt the reliability of the Bible.

    Compromising with Genesis has led to a generational loss of acceptance of the absolute authority of God's Word, which leads to an exodus of young people from the church.
    The reason why Genesis remains critically important in presenting the Gospel.
    Discover how the way we approach the biblical account of creation affects our understanding of all Scripture and even our worldview.

These topics are of utmost importance when we realize that today we have Christians not only confused about Genesis and the age of the earth, but even about the reality of hell, Adam as a real person, and Christ's own words about creation, marriage, and much more. One compromise only leads to another – and it has to end if we want to leave a legacy of faith for future generations.
