Radical Honesty
by Brad Blanton

Great book! The power of telling the truth. Jesus said "the truth shall set you free..." Well, it's true. Telling the truth really is freedom. Avoiding the truth and not living our truth is the source of our misery. Sounds simple perhaps, but not so easy to do. If it were we would all be perfectly honest (and happy). The book could have a little more "heart" though. The author seems a bit tough and dramatic at times.
