An encounter with truth

Joe Boot, the Canadian Director of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, has succeeded in providing a clear and convincing explanation of the Christian worldview in Searching for Truth: Discovering the Meaning and Purpose of Life. This book addresses the often unidentified human longing to know God and explains how God has worked throughout history to draw people into a relationship with himself. From creation to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to the culmination of all things, Boot outlines the main tenets of the biblical worldview and demonstrates how they correspond to the evidence and to human experience. This great book is not only informative, but challenges each one of us to consider our own lives and how the truth he confronts us with can change us. For anyone who is sceptical, but curious about Christian claims, this book wrestles with historical, scientific and experiential evidence for God's existence, creation and the resurrection of Jesus. Boot deals honestly with objections to these claims and grounds his conclusions firmly in reason and human experience. For those who have felt the longing for something greater or higher in their life than they have ever known, this book points to the One who can fulfill that longing. For those who would consider themselves followers of Jesus already, this book is a helpful resource for getting a better grasp on the shape of the biblical worldview and for learning how to explain and defend this worldview to others. I recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading Joe Boot's next one!!
