Time for Truth - by Os Guinness (Paperback)

About the Book

A challenging, countercultural examination of the necessity and decline of truth--the root of true freedom--in modern culture.

Book Synopsis

In postmodern society, truth no longer exists in any objective or absolute sense. At best, truth is considered relative. At worst, it's a matter of human convention. But, as Os Guinness points out in this book, truth is a vital requirement for freedom and a good life.
Time for Truth urges readers to seek the truth, speak the truth, and live the truth. Guinness shows that becoming free and truthful people is the deepest secret of integrity and the highest form of taking responsibility for ourselves and our lives. Now in paperback, this engaging book will interest Os Guinness fans, thoughtful readers, and those concerned with moral, political, and cultural issues.

"Guiness cuts to the heart of a problem that threatens America and the West more than any armed enemy-the decline of truth as a guiding principle in our lives."
Fred Barnes, The Weekly Standard
