God’s Word or Motivational Mantra?

Does it ever feel as though Bible verses have been repeated so often they have lost their meaning? Like a game of Bible Mad Libs where bits and pieces of Scripture are pulled and patched together to fit a fill-in-the-blank narrative that strays from what God really said.

Misquoted dives into the most commonly misused verses from the Bible—verses that are well worth reclaiming because of the significant impact they can have on your life. You will discover that Scripture, when you consider the context…

  • is not all about us, but Christ for us and the forgiveness of our sins
  • is an ever-flowing fountain of true hope and lasting comfort
  • is not all that mysterious, but when properly understood, has real life-changing power

From God’s great love to his plan and purpose for you, this book will shine new light on the most misused scriptures, placing each verse back into the context it was written so that you can experience the fullness of all the great truths God offers for your comfort, encouragement, and spiritual growth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!

Verified Purchase
A Christian approaches the Bible in the context of his personal journey of faith. His context seeks to apply the words of the Bible in an effort to find comfort for the conscience in guilt as well as guidance and strength for continued faithfulness to the Lord Jesus. Such a search can lead one to draw conclusions from the text which can lead to a misapplication of God’s Word from its context into their context. Rev. Dan Suelzle does a good job of providing tools with which to approach God’s written Word in the context of your faith journey so that you can receive the comfort of sins forgiven with a confidence for faithful living and confession in the Person & Work of Jesus Christ. Centered in Christ "Misqoted" strives to show you the peace He has secured for you. Very practical and helpful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for Bible students
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019
I approached this book as many others I have read before about misunderstood Bible verses. However, two things caught my attention from the the 1st chapter, and they impressed me all over the book:
(1) the verses selection: the author didn't choose only those verses that we all know are always misinterpreted. He did choose some of them, but most of the verses he worked with are not the ones we are used to see in books like this. That was a pleasant surprise.
(2) the chapters structure: the author worked with 3 sections in each chapter. In the first one (named "Consider the claim"), he explains and/or give (real life) examples of how that particular verse is usually misunderstood (and also applied incorrectly). In the second section ("Consider the context"), he explains the correct interpretation, always pointing to the context of that particular text, as the title of the section suggests. In the third section ("Consider the comfort"), he explains why the correct interpretation gives us (as christians) a better message/hope than the incorrect one.
Each chapter handles one Bible verses, and they're mostly very objective and to the point.
I must say that I didn't agree 100% with what the author said, but our disagreements were mostly due to doctrical differences (he is a Lutheran pastor), and those were were minor differences, and they didn't prevent me from learning a lot from this book. I especially appreciated the practical examples. They gave me a better understanding of the impact that an incorrect interpretation might have on people's lives, and also taught me how careful I need to be myself when approachind the Holy Scriptures.
I heartly recommend it to Bible students, specially those who want to learn how to properly study the Bible text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Putting Bible verses back into proper context
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019
First off, I know the author and received an advance copy of the book simply to enjoy. That said, here is why you should read this book --
I started reading it about an hour ago and even with my fervent highlighter addiction, made it through 2 chapters. It's an easy read but profound in what it teaches. Each chapter is broken into the same three parts that help you understand how various Bible verses are pulled out of their intended setting, misquoted and misused and abused, and then puts the verse back into context so that the richer, deeper, more comforting meaning shines with brightness. It is brilliant in its format and makes the book a great joy to read. More than anything, this book highlights the message of Christ for you that you may have comfort knowing Christ and His salvation apart from your works by His work on your behalf.
