The Moment of Truth

In a book that examines the heart of modern people, Os Guinness highlights the current crisis of truth. He urges us to live with integrity and freedom in a world of lies, superstition, and confusion.

Truth is far from dead—he tells us. Not only is it alive and well, but it can easily be shown to be of great importance. Without truth, there can be no freedom; in fact, it is the only way to live a life of freedom. Through graphic contemporary examples, Os Guinness demonstrates that living in truth has real consequences in all areas of life, including politics, academics, and business. Living this way—he points out—begins and ends with the personal, with each of us as we truly are.

"A brilliant work! Os Guinness goes straight for the jugular. A society not based on truth will inevitably decay. But how can we believe in truth today? Guinness uses psychological tools and biblical content not only to elaborate on the state of contemporary society but to point the way out and build a foundation for truth firmer than what modernity or postmodernity are capable of."
