Summary

Voddie Baucham has a message for Christians in today's postmodern culture-it's time to take a stand for the truth. The Ever-Loving Truth addresses the cost of being a twenty-first century Christian in a world quickly running away from the concept of absolute truth much less the knowledge and wisdom of truth. But the unchanging truth of God's Word still holds preeminence in relevance and answers to contemporary life issues. The Ever-Loving Truth shows how committed Christians in society today-just like the New Testament writers, Peter and John-can, as followers of Christ, stand humbly but boldly in the marketplace of ideas and proclaim the truth to a culture void of everlasting answers.
