Gale Newman was born and raised in Turlock, California. He attended U.C. Berkeley on an athletic scholarship. After graduation, he attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. From that school, he received a Masters of Divinity degree and a few years later, a Doctor of Ministry. He has served churches in Oregon, Indiana and California. While serving those churches, he instituted home Bible studies, believing them to be essential for Chrisitan growth. During those years, he noticed a need for more material that could be used in those settings. This study is an attempt to meet that need. Dr. Newman has three sons, Eric, Andy, and Brian who live in different communities around America. The Truth About The Lie is a Bible study designed to promote Christian growth in individuals through personal study or in group home Bible studies. According to Jesus, Satan authored "The Lie" (John 8:44). Jesus, who is "The Truth", came to confront "The Lie" and its effects upon the world. He offered "a way of escape" (1 Cor. 10:13) and through belief in "The Truth", Salvation (1 Tim. 2). The apostles Peter, John and Paul all refer to the conflict between "The Truth" and "The Lie" using these same terms. This book takes many of those passages and guides the student into an understanding of them. As this occurs. the Holy Spirit will challenge the Christian to live "The Truth" in the same way Jesus did.
