Following the huge success of The Tortoise Usually Wins, 2012, and The

Big Picture, 2015, in When Faith Turns Ugly Brian Harris explores why

the Christian faith sometimes wears two masks - usually life-serving and

transforming, but occasionally escapist, illusionary and even poisonous.

What are the warning signs that faith is at risk of turning toxic? What do

we mean by the conviction that the gospel liberates? Brian Harris' take on

what constitutes life-serving faith is refreshing and will be appreciated by

all who would like to be sure that their obedience to Jesus the Christ will

help to build a world with a better name.
