    About this ebook

    Is truth real? How do you define truth? What happens when your definition of truth is not the same as your best friend's? Or your parents'? Whose truth becomes the real truth?

    See a problem?

    The culture says truth can change. God’s Word says Truth is solid.

    In My Name is Erin: One Girls Journey to Discover Truth you will be guided by Erin to learn

    • Truth is not defined by your circumstances, your heart, or your mind
    • Truth can be discovered – not created
    • How to protect yourself and your friends with Truth
    • Lies that masquerade as Truth
    • How to make invisible spy ink


    This book is one in a series of four books, which can be read in any order. They are:

      My Name is Erin - Erin Davis

      Acknowledgments

      My name is Erin. There’s a part of me that would love to stretch the truth and tell you that I’m just like you, that I wear stylish clothes, that I listen to the bands you like, and that I love hanging out at the mall. But … that’s not exactly true. Most of my wardrobe comes from Target, I drive a minivan without a stereo, and I only go to the mall if I am having a chunky jewelry emergency (because a girl simply cannot have too many plastic jewels).

      Since this book is all about truth, perhaps the best place to start is the truth about who I am. I’m thirtyish. (I know that sounds old, but someday it won’t.) I live in the Midwest with my handsome man, my adorable kids, and my blond Goldendoodle. I’m a Milk Duds fanatic, a drinker of sweet tea and fine milkshakes, and a sucker for movies that end with a wedding.

      I’m also a huge fan of girls just like you. You’re fun and open and loyal. My favorite thing about you is that you can smell a fake (person … story … handbag) from a mile away, but you love it when you find something that’s real. That’s why I am so passionate about pointing you toward God’s Truth.

      I may not be playing dodgeball with you in gym class. I might not look like the girls who sit with you at lunch, but believe it or not, I’ve walked a mile (or two) in your shoes. I know what it’s like to want answers to big questions about God, the Bible, and Truth. I remember feeling like I was in a tug of war between what others believed and what I read in the Bible and wondering often, How do I know which way is right?

      My journey to discover Truth has been a long and bumpy ride, but the good news is, I’ve found it. (Spoiler alert: It was in the Bible all along!) Here’s more good news: God’s Truth is yours for the taking. You can know the Truth, and that knowing has the power to change everything about your life.

      I’ve had a front row seat to watch what can happen when one girl understands and decides to live by God’s Truth. I want my journey to discover Truth to help point you in the right direction. But I’m not interested in teaching you what to think. Instead I want to show you how to discover Truth for yourself.

      My name is Erin, and this is my story.

      The Ship Is Sinking!

      I know we just met, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to take you on a little cruise. Since this is a book for girls, let’s imagine it’s a girls-only cruise, to the Caribbean of course! The sun is shining, the water is crystal clear, and we all look fabulous in our bathing suits (Hallelujah!). I will be your captain on this lovely voyage. True, I’ve never sailed a ship in my life, but since this is an imaginary cruise, I think you should be safe.

      I have a friend who used to tease her hair with a toothbrush. Now that’s distracting!

      Our ship is sailing along at 28 knots (I Googled boating terms in order to sound official) when things take a turn of Titanic proportions. Maybe we hit an iceberg. Maybe it was a flock of seagulls. Maybe I got totally distracted by a girl with better hair than mine … in any case, our boat has a hole in it and we are taking on water. In my defense, I did warn you that I had never sailed a ship before.

      I sound the alarm that we are going down, but you just stay in your lounge chairs. I grab the life rafts and get them ready, but no one moves. The water is up to your ankles, but you make no plans to abandon ship. We are sinking! I yell. As your captain, I command you to get in a life raft!

      "It doesn’t really feel like we are sinking, so I don’t believe that we really are sinking, one girl says. If it feels like we are sinking later, I might believe you."

      I’ve never been a crowd follower, says another. Just because some of you think this boat is sinking and want to jump in a life preserver, doesn’t mean that’s the right choice for me. I’m staying put.

      I’ll join you on the life raft, says one girl, "but I don’t want to offend any other girls by asking them to come too. If they don’t believe this boat is sinking, who am I to
