What if some of the things we confidently say about God are things He never actually said?
For generations, Christians have repeated phrases, teachings, and interpretations that sound biblical. Some are rooted in Scripture. Others have been passed down so often that we stopped asking where they came from.
God Said It, We Interpreted It. is an invitation to look again.
Tinakka Johnson examines familiar Christian language and beliefs through the context of Scripture, not to tear down faith, but to strengthen it. With honesty, grace, and practical biblical insight, she challenges readers to separate what God actually said from what we may have assumed, inherited, or added along the way.
This book will help you:
- Recognize the difference between Scripture and familiar Christian sayings
- Examine verses in their proper context
- Question interpretations without becoming cynical about faith
- Understand how tradition can shape what we believe
- Return to Scripture with greater humility, curiosity, and precision
You do not have to be afraid of asking questions.
Sometimes deeper faith begins when we are willing to admit:
Maybe I need to look at that again.
