Will the Real Phony Please Stand Up?

by Ethel Barrett

Will the Real Phony Please Stand Up? A phony is a fake. A sham, A hypocrite, a phony lives behind a shiny facade. The Apostle James was vigorously opposed to phoniness. In his personal letters he told believers of his time he didn't want to hear about their faith in God, he wanted to see their strength of conviction alive in them. For James, being a Christian was extremely practical- a way of being, not acting. Nearly 2,000 years after James, Ethel Barrett concurs on the need for genuine, active Christianity. In this updated version her wise and witty words add a fresh dimension to James's timeless counsel for Christians of all ages. You will identify with her keen insights and often humorous applications of God's message on such subjects as faith, temptation, wisdom, attitudes and prayer. A nationally-known radio, television and platform personality, Ethel Barrett is also a master storyteller and best selling author in demand throughout America.

I read this book when I was a senior in high school and it changed my life. Now many many many years later I have reread it and see how it has affected my life and my decisions. In fact the book I have is the same book that I’ve read in my senior year of high school. I love seeing the marks that I have put in the book.
