Offers teachers and administrators a distinctive, cogently stated, biblically based philosophy as a guide for practice in Christian schools.

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) GOD, forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!Galatians 6:14 “God bestows the actual knowledge of himself upon us only in the Scriptures.” John Calvin NORMAN DE JONG (Ph.D., Educational Foundations, University of Iowa) devoted most of his life to the cause of Christian education. He served ten years as a Christian school administrator and twenty-two years as a college professor training teachers. In 1992, at the age of 57, he left that profession to answer an internal call to Gospel ministry. Since 1993 he has been an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. He is a graduate of Mid-America Reformed Seminary and has been involved in numerous overseas ministry opportunities. He has served short-term assignments in Australia, Cyprus, Kenya, South Africa, Canada, and New Zealand. He has also been privileged to start and organize two congregations in the United States. He has dedicated his life to a study of God’s Most Holy Word. He has published numerous inductive Bible studies, most recently on the book of Revelation. He and Wilma have been married for 59 years, have three children, thirteen grand-children, and three great grand-children. They live in Michigan, but winter in Florida.

LIES, LIES, and MORE LIES is an effort to address ultimate questions of truth and falsehood in a biblical, comprehensive, antithetical, and yet very practical way. Truth is more than words. Truth is embodied in Jesus Christ, who is the origin and ultimate standard of it. Falsehood is distortion of God's truth and can be found everywhere. We must confront it. We must equip our children to identify and to resist it. Norman De Jong has been an educator since 1958 and a pastor since 1993. He received a Ph.D. in Educational Philosophy from the University of Iowa in 1972. His dissertation focused on the relationship between "democracy" and the Kingdom of God. Dr. De Jong has served churches and schools in Australia, Cyprus, Kenya, Newfoundland, South Africa, and the United States. The antithetical relationship between truth and falsehood has been of concern to him since becoming a teacher. Dedicated to a study of God's most Holy Word, he has been testing ideas to see if they come from God or have been distorted by the devil. Dr. De Jong has been married for 50+ years and has been blessed with three children and thirteen grandchildren. It is his desire that they learn the truth and reject falsehood. Norman De Jong tells it like it is. But in this book he does something far more important and helpful than merely sorting out the truth-tellers from the liars. He gives the reader tools for making those distinctions on his own. He shows the reader how to develop both an objective and an intuitive sense for knowing whether the truth is being told in any given situation. That is a profound and critical gift in this relativistic age. JOEL BELZ, Founder, World Magazine.
