Empty Promises

Empty Promises:
The Truth About You, Your Desires, and the Lies You’re Believing
By Pete Wilson (Thomas Nelson)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“Pete Wilson’s second book is easy to get into and hits home with down-to-earth storytelling and solid biblical truths to support his thoughts. Those new to faith, exploring faith or coming back to faith will find the structure just right as it reads like a manual for life, always sticking with the theme. Handing out this book is a way of saying, ‘Welcome to the Christian family. Here’s something to help you understand what all of this is NOT about.’ This can be an important realization for a good number of new Christians trying to wade through this whole God thing.” —Vince Marotte, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine
