Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey is a very important book. I found myself often trying to retell the truths contained in this book to my husband. I found especially informative her walking the reader through the concept of two- story truth. Also very enlightening was the history of the evangelical movement. Classic worldview book. a much-needed read today I used this as a discipleship tool in our Dutch Church, very helpful I found many chapters very informative and enlightening, though most were beyond my comprehension. If I were to read this book a second time in a few years I'm sure I would understand a lot more.
