His arguments are biblical, he encourages the reader to go back to the Bible over and over to test the truth of the things we say and hear and believe. Much of what passes for Christianity really isn't, it can't be found in the Bible. And believing things that aren't true leads to wrong expectations, bad actions, and frustrated lives.
