What is Truth?: The Journey from Atheism to Catholicism

By John Reuben Smith

John Reuben Smith shares the story of his struggle with the idea of God. He explains this journey into faith as a sometimes tortuous path that led from the innocent belief of childhood to atheism and, eventually, beyond. It is a personal story of the attempt to seek out the truth. Within this story, he explains how his study of philosophy, science and theology played a part. As if he were a detective, he looked for evidence of meaning in existence, for evidence of a reason to hope, for evidence of a reason to love and, ultimately, for evidence of the God he lost. Throughout the years of searching, John would not allow himself to settle for anything except the truth even as he acknowledged that such truth might not exist. Yet, he was compelled to search, learn, and reflect because the desire to find the truth never left him. John acknowledges that his journey has not ended yet. However, he has written this reflection and history of what he has come to believe with the hope that a fellow traveler may be find it to be of some use in his or her quest for the truth and in the journey of faith. As he says in the book, "We must all make such a journey. We must all seek out the path our heart was made for. Sometimes the path is long and dark. We all sometimes lose our way." Perhaps in sharing this very personal story, its narrative can be of some help, perhaps something of a road map, for your journey, for the path for which your heart was made.
