Truth Matters: Knowing God and Yourself, Andrew Kirk Petiprin

Newcomers to the church community need tools to navigate the Christian faith and a guide for connecting spiritual teaching to real life. In a world that's increasingly relative, author Andrew Petiprin helps readers discover unchanging truth based on God's Word. Truth Matters shows how core tenants of the Christian faith were affirmed over the centuries by faithful biblical scholars. As he engages with great thinkers of Christian tradition, including C. S. Lewis, T. S. Eliot and others, Petiprin helps readers flourish in their faith by discovering the true answers to age-old questions like, Who is God? and Who am I?

Mirroring the structure of traditional creeds, Truth Matters helps readers better understand truths about themselves by understanding the truth about God and his desire for a relationship with us. As readers learn more about how doctrine was debated and decided, they will also see that Truth never changes, and that the purpose of doctrine is to make Truth clearer than before.

As it champions the authentic teachings of the Christian faith, Truth Matters points to doctrine, liturgy, and tradition as a way to discover not just the truth about God, but to find God himself.
