Allen Parr's Best-Selling Work

Misled

The gospel is under attack today–not only from outside cultural forces but also from within the church. In Misled, popular YouTuber and Bible teacher Allen Parr equips readers to identify and withstand seven of the most common false teachings that undermine the gospel and lead many well-meaning Christians astray.

For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called “another gospel.”

The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what he offers, and what he wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus.

In Misled, Allen Parr weaves together stories from his own spiritual journey and the lives of those he’s ministered to in order to show the painful consequences of following false teachings and to provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. Readers will

  • learn about seven of the most misleading and harmful messages that run rampant within the church today;
  • be equipped to identify not only “wolves in shepherd’s clothing” who peddle counterfeit gospels, but also well-intentioned teachers whose half-truths are no less harmful to the church; and
  • discover how they can find the freedom, peace, and joy that only comes from embracing the gospel in all its purity and simplicity.

 

With the same balanced, Bible-based approach that has made Parr’s YouTube channel a go-to resource, Misled offers clarity and hope for anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey—and invites readers to find everything they’ve been searching for in the true gospel.

Breaking Through: How Ordinary Believers Experience Extraordinary Freedom

Available June 9, 2026!

What stands between you and Jesus?

Jesus loves to set people free. So why do we feel stuck? Why do mental barriers, fear, bad habits, and toxic thoughts keep us trapped even as we search for Jesus’s abundant life?

We all struggle with barriers between us and God, but these barriers are different depending on our unique experiences, circumstances, and challenges. Some of us struggle with mental barriers—faith doesn’t make sense yet. Some deal with habitual sin. Others battle with past trauma or even dark spiritual experiences holding us in bondage. These strongholds need to be understood and met with simple, achievable strategies that fit our struggle. Then we will find the freedom to which we’ve been called.

Breaking Through equips us with strategies for finding joy-filled living, clarity of heart and mind, and deep connection with God. Step into a more intentional, peaceful life as you

  • identify the specific mental, spiritual, and generational walls that imprison you;
  • sort through myths about deliverance and celebrate what “being delivered” really means;
  • learn how specific discipleship practices bring the power of Jesus into your unique challenges;
  • leave behind shame, emotional wounds, and spiritual confusion; and
  • embrace a vision of faith and freedom as you draw closer to God.

Spiritual freedom is not a vague idea or something available only to some people. It is a ready-for-the-taking gift of God that you can experience right now. This is a dynamic, provocative, and practical path to lasting spiritual freedom and a well-ordered life.
