The truth. Many have sought the truth in different ways, in different places. In the search for truth, many have been lost in errors and damaging situations. Where is the truth? And What is truth?

Currently, subjectivism denies that there is something absolute, like truth. People accept as truth any argument. In that way, the Bible is one more truth.

Randy Alcorn, in this book helps us to know even more the truth in the Scriptures. Through the application of a verse, and a deeper phrase, Alcorn invites us to meditate on the treasure of truth. Do you want to know the truth? You will find it in Jesus Christ.

200 days, in which we can meditate on the truth. Use it as it should, 3 days in 1, the important thing is to meditate on the truth. Do you know the truth?

I have loved this book, in fact I will be sharing on what is exposed in it, through Facebook. Very good.

Thanks to Harvest House Publishers for the copy of this book to review.

It's not the book i expected it would be. Was nice but i would not give it to someone else. The autor is great though and that might be it the last book i read from him was Couragous.

Truth. Sometimes it seems like a fluid concept. We might hear about "alternative truth." A politician's spokesperson might respond to criticism of her boss by talking about "her truth." Randy Alcorn not only wants to make the case that truth is unchangeable and discoverable, but also that it is rooted in "the eternal, all-powerful, and unchangeable God." In Truth: A Bigger View of God's Word, Alcorn gives us 200 short selections to help us understand and apply God's truth.


Following the pattern of his earlier book Grace, each selection includes a scripture, a couple of paragraphs of Alcorn's insights, and a quotation from another writer or pastor. He covers a wide gamut of the Christian life, and draws quotes from a wide variety of the Christian tradition.


The strength of these selections is two-fold. First of all, Alcorn reminds us that God and his word are arbiters of truth, not us. Christians should be looking to the authority of scripture, not their own feelings. He writes, "The test of whether Scripture is my authority is this: Do I allow God's Word to convince me to believe what I don't like, what's contrary to what I've always believed and wanted to believe? Do I believe it even when it offends me?" We should believe what the Bible teaches, not "whatever makes us feel better about ourselves or justifies our actions."


Second, the truth of scripture should guide our lives. Christians ignore or are ignorant of so much of what scripture teaches about the Christian life. The Christian is a new creation. We are saved by grace. The gospel is good news. (How about this quote: "A good test of whether you believe the true gospel is if it makes you happy.") So much truth in the gospel, so many Christians who live like they don't believe it.


This is not a book to read straight through. If you do, like I did, you will be frustrated by the lack of continuity or structure. Take these short chapters a bite at a time, chew on them, and let God's truth inform your life and transform your thinking. Truth is unchanging. That is important to acknowledge. But even more importantly, Christians need to acknowledge the power of truth to change them.

In this devotional by Randy Alcorn we learn that the most important truth is the truth of who Jesus is.

We also learn that the Truth does not change according to whether or not we believe it. It is truth whether or not we choose to believe it.

This book encourages not to buy into the lies and hold onto the truth.

I give Truth five out of five stars.

Happy Reading.
