Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes by Nancy Pearcey

5.0

I cannot recommend this book enough. It is SO GOOD! We read and discussed it in our homeschool and learned so much. 

Nancy Pearcey lays out five principles for unmasking the different worldviews by which people live and demonstrates how each one fails to account for all of human experience. By choosing to believe in a limited worldview, a person experiences cognitive dissonance in their life: since their worldview doesn’t account for all of their experience, they must borrow from the Christian worldview to complete the circuit. For example, a person claims they are an atheist, yet thinks it is unjust when someone steals their property. Justice is not an atheistic ideal, it is a Christian one. Pearcey explains how the Christian worldview is the only one that accounts for all of human experience. 

“It is a serious mistake for Christian parents, teachers, or churches to dismiss young people's doubts and questions, or to think they can be overridden merely by cultivating a more intense devotional life. Because we are created in God's image, we are all endowed with a mind and a natural urge to make sense of life.”
