About this item
Learn to Think Clearly in a Complex World: A Christian Guide to Logic and Reason
Most of us grew up in a culture where school systems rewarded fast, correct answers to problems—not slow, deliberate questions about problems. But as we mature, we face more complicated matters—ideas with worldview implications—that aren’t tests of memorized facts.

By changing our minds.
