"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 ... I hope that Christians might pass on
copies of Finding Truth to non-Christians, who might find Pearcey's
analysis of secular worldviews convincing and her presentation of
Christianity appealing."

"Scholarly but fully accessible ... Pearcey surveys the various
idols upon which the various schools of modernism and postmodernism
have built their systems: reason, imagination, economics, matter
... 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 staring 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."

"Finding Truth is a seminar between two covers, providing depth of
information and guidance toward an informed faith through the Study
Guide offered at the end. Its goal--helping the reader to
communicate Christian convictions--leads the Christian to think, to
study, and to interact with ideas. Sure to facilitate powerful
discussion, the study questions at the end will develop critical
thinking skills and flex spiritual muscles. Pearcey's wonderfully
readable style makes it a resource for anyone serious about
discovering truth. Woven throughout are stories of people such as
Dr. Michael Egnor (a leading brain surgeon), acclaimed hip-hop
artist Lecrae Moore, and Pearcey's own journey to faith, that make
the book fascinating and real."--Marilyn Stewart "Defend Magazine"

"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."
