  • Description

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is an almost universal ambivalence towards truth these days. Many even reject the idea that universal truths have any valid place at all in our ‘post-truth’ society.

    As Christians, we cannot afford to let our society’s loose relationship with truth influence our thinking, living and speaking. In Truth be Told, Lionel Windsor goes back to the Bible to show how the gospel provides a foundation for both understanding truth and interacting truthfully with our culture. Provocative and timely, this book offers Christians practical help in the task of sharing the truth of the gospel with confidence and conviction.

    Truth be Told is also available as an audiobook narrated by Lionel Windsor.

  • Recommendations

    "In this book Lionel Windsor shows his characteristic clarity and thoughtfulness as he helps us understand life in a post-truth generation. I like the way Lionel approaches social media not as a dinosaur, scoffing that life was somehow so much better back in his day, but instead recognising that every new technology gives the world new opportunities and new challenges.
    "Lionel has a gift for making complex philosophies accessible. Throughout the book Lionel gives us great short summaries of some very complex ideologies that have shaped of our age. But by far the greatest advantage of this book is that it reminds us that the gospel sits at the centre of all truth and that the gospel alone is the way to fix our truth problem."
    —Carl Matthei, Senior Minister and Chaplain at Campus Bible Study, UNSW

    So insightful

    I'm halfway through and this book has 1. Opened my eyes to the issues of truth in our world. 2. Challenged my own heart. 3. Given me way and thoughts on how to explain the idea of truth in our world to non-christians. It is written in a way that is easy to understand. Highly recommended read.

    Excellent analysis of Truth in the modern world

    Being seniors we have witnessed the recent radical changes regarding social media, the decline of some sections of the Christian church, and the subsequent lowering of ethical and moral standards of the original Judeo-Christian ethic which has been the basis of much of our culture. This book is an excellent analysis of the subject
    This has impacted on us, and we now critically look at much of the published media.

    Read this book, then give it to anyone with an internet connection

    I think that this book is required reading for any Christian who is even vaguely aware that we are living in a post-truth world. Clear, biblical, practical guidance on one of the pressing cultural issues of our day.

    Relevant, practical and easy to read

    I admit that I am biased. However, for what it's worth, I found 'Truth be Told' to be so timely and relevant to what appear to be western society's contemporary attitudes (and my own) to '#therealtruth'.

    I also appreciated the scriptural, practical suggestions on living as a Christian in a post-truth world.

    For any of you who have read Carl Trueman's 'Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self', I regard 'Truth be Told' to be just as important and relevant as Trueman's book; but a much easier and quicker read
