Finding Truth, Nancy Pearcey

Descrição

"Nancy Pearcey invites her readers to ‘test everything’ ... She illustrates how competing systems of thought borrow from Christianity even while rejecting it ... An immensely practical and insightful resource."
— Ravi Zacharias, author, speaker

"Describes my life as an atheist perfectly ... If I'd read this book as a young man, I think I would have been challenged to re-examine my views much earlier."
— J. Warner Wallace, Author, Cold-Case Christianity

"A great book ... Nancy Pearcey has been to the church what Francis Schaeffer was to the believers of his day: a cultural intellectual who provides careful, thoughtful, and well-researched critiques ... I highly recommend this delightful book."
— J.P. Moreland, Professor of Philosophy, Biola University


"Deftly exposes the inconsistencies and the failures of a host of modern idols."
— Paul Copan, Professor of Philosophy, Palm Beach Atlantic University

"We live in a culture beset by the twin dragons of modernism and postmodernism. Nancy Pearcey draws a sword and cuts their heads off ... Totally readable."
— Doug TenNapel, Creator, Earthworm Jim

"Secular worldviews have become the intellectual fast-food of our day--nice taste, no nourishment ... This book ought to be in the survival kit of every student heading off to college."
— John R. Erickson, Author, Hank the Cowdog

"Pearcey has done it again ... shows how biblical truth is both more convincing than competing worldviews, and also more appealing."
— Kelly Monroe Kullberg, Founder, The Veritas Forum

"Wonderfully insightful ... helps readers avoid becoming 'intoxicated' with idols and false ideas."
— David K. Naugle, Author, Worldview: The History of a Concept

"Chock full of gems ... Pearcey has the unique ability of getting to the heart of things."
— Gregory Koukl, President, Stand to Reason

“Nancy Pearcey at her best—totally profound, persuasive, and yet practical. Read it with your highlighter handy!”
— Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling Author


“Dismantles humanism, atheism, reductionism, and every other ism … Pearcey’s arguments combined with the Gospel of Jesus leave all other worldviews outside of Christianity without a leg to stand on.”
— Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty


“Fantastic! … Sharp critique of secular culture and a helpful guide for correcting it.”
— Sean McDowell, Author, Speaker

“As Pearcey (author of the 2005 classic Total Truth) so ably points out, both explicitly and through poignant real-life stories, ‘finding truth’ is not a dry intellectual exercise ... She leads the reader step-by-step through these principles in an accessible way, providing concrete examples ... This book would make a fantastic graduation gift for high school seniors, especially those on their way to college.”
— Christianity Today

“Scholarly but fully accessible ... Just as Paul warns that those who serve idols will exchange the glory of the immortal God for the images of animals, so Pearcey warns that worldviews that begin with a false starting point inevitably end up reducing man from a free individual made in God’s image to a determined and dehumanized unit in nature ... A full, carefully-nuanced exposé of the bankrupt, dead-end nature of materialism ... A splendid coup d’état.”
— Hope's Reason: A Journal of Apologetics

“In Finding Truth, Pearcey provides her readers another great tool for evaluating competing worldviews ... Sure to facilitate powerful discussion, the study questions at the end will develop critical thinking skills ... Pearcey’s wonderfully readable style makes it a resource for anyone serious about discovering truth ... Stories make the book fascinating and real.”
— Defendmag.com

“Pearcey promises that the principles she lays out will ‘provide you with the tools to recognize what’s right and wrong with any worldview—and then to craft a biblically informed perspective that is both true and humane.’ She makes the promise and she delivers on it. Finding Truth is, all-in-all, a worthy successor to Total Truth.”
— Challies.com

"Nancy Pearcey makes the complicated so clear a reader can forget how insightful she has been. Don’t be deceived: her new book Finding Truth is an intellectual powerhouse.... Pearcey is well read, smart, and honest about her doubts. That puts her two steps ahead of Richard Dawkins."
— Patheos
