Such a enlightening book. One to return to annually. Helpful for showing all that a biblical worldview encompasses.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a reasonable, rational exposition on a Christian worldview and a vigorous and needed dissembling of Darwinian scientism.This is a great book for a Christian thinker and a good challenge to the feel good wave of Christianity that is doing great damage to the Church, ceding precious ground to secularists who seek to compartmentalize Christianity as just another form of spiritism and to simply dismiss it from public debate in the areas of science, history, etc. This book asserts that the naturalist/materialist worldview is as religious as any other belief system cloaking itself in science, and that it's a worldview that shuns all truth that does not conform to their naturalist paradigm.The major flaw in this book is in the fourth section, where Pearcey discusses the evangelist movement in the colonies and later United States. She reveals her personal bias. She's obviously Reformed/Lutheran and dismisses any theological challenge to Calvinism as "anti-intellectual." While this section is still filled with worthwhile history, her conclusions are the weakest in the entire book and is rather sad way to end what is otherwise an amazing thesis on the Christian Worldview.

Exceptional book, topic with major flaw at end.

If you could sum up Total Truth in three words, what would they be?

Satisfying, Genuine, Scholarly

Who was your favorite character and why?

Though it wasn't a narrative, it definitely had characters (hundreds of philosophers, scientists, ministers and more were cited!) My favorite was Francis Schaeffer, a powerful witness who showed true hospitality and love towards those he ministered to.

What about Kate Reading’s performance did you like?

I read the book at 3x the normal speed so her pronunciation and accurate rendition of the work's construction were invaluable.

Wow.

I have three books by Nancy the I will be reading. This is the first and foundational to the others. I highly recommend this book as a way to clear cobwebs in our muddled minds and put illuminating understanding and perspective into every nook and corner of our minds.

A book to be consumed and savored slowly and purposefully.

Christianity for the heart and mind; and hope for Christians in western culture... Christ is truly the center; the hub to and from which all the spokes of life attach.

Life-changing perspective

If you want to grow in your mind, heart and soul, “read” this book. Worthwhile!

A must read!

I found the book well written, engaging, and never slow. I learned something in every chapter. Especially the chapters that cover the history of the church's intellectual decline and how to fix it.

I had just finished listening to J P Moreland's "Love Your God with All Your Mind" when I began this. It is the perfect complement.

Excellent book.

The narration was very good. The voice and pronunciation were excellent. The story line was well researched, educative and entertaining making listening easy. However, my only downside is that the audio chapters do not follow the book chapters. One chapter in the audio overlap into the other making it difficult to listen chapter by chapter. So most often I have to refer to my Kindle edition to know whether I'm in the same chapter. I hope this is corrected and updated before my second listening. I still give 5 stars because I cannot give 4.9 stars.

Excellent Book on Worldviews

the first half I was very impressed with. When she got to the part where she was criticizing Christians who want to only trust the Holy Spirit and not man, with his hierarchical leadership and connection to God, I got concerned. But I understand now. She was just making the case for deep thought to support our own personal Christian views. which I I strongly believe is true. getting past that then, the last half of the book was again great. Especially appendix 4. Don't skip them like we normally do.

great apologetics
