What is Truth? by Jake & Jahden Krihkori

What is truth?
Is it something we decide—or something we discover?
And if truth exists, how do we recognize it?

These questions—questions that both kids and adults struggle with in different ways—set two brothers, Jake and Jahden, on a bold journey to explore life’s biggest mysteries. In What Is Truth?, the first book in an exciting new series, they invite readers of all ages to join them on a thought-provoking adventure through history’s most influential ideas, ancient writings, and timeless questions that continue to shape how we see the world.

This is not a lecture.
It’s a conversation.

Jake and Jahden ask the kinds of honest, searching questions that children ask freely and adults often wrestle with quietly: What is real? Who decides what’s right and wrong? Whose truth am I supposed to believe? Is truth personal, cultural, or universal? Can two opposing ideas both be true—and if not, how do we know which one is? Their curiosity leads them into dynamic, real-world interviews with leading thinkers and scientists whose insights challenge assumptions and open new ways of thinking.

In one unforgettable conversation, Dr. Hugh Ross, an astrophysicist, invites the brothers to look beyond equations and experiments to consider whether the structure of the universe itself points to deeper meaning. He explores the idea that truth may be woven into reality—raising questions not just about how things work, but why they exist at all.

In another compelling interview, Ken Ham presses Jake and Jahden with a challenging thought: If truth is always changing, who—or what—gets to define it? His perspective pushes them to examine how worldviews and belief systems influence science, culture, ethics, and education.

The conversation deepens when Jake and Jahden bring one of their most honest questions to Chris Hamilton, a long-time teacher and mentor: Do we all worship the same God—or are we actually talking about very different understandings of ultimate truth? As he responds, the brothers are challenged to consider whether belief is merely perspective, or whether truth remains true regardless of culture, tradition, or experience.

In a powerful moment bridging science and philosophy, Dr. Gerald Schroeder, a physicist and author, challenges the brothers to see science and ancient wisdom not as rivals, but as complementary ways of understanding reality—one explaining how the universe functions, the other exploring its meaning and purpose.

Through these conversations, Jake and Jahden explore creation, human nature, responsibility, consequences, and a love that seems to reach beyond time. Their search is both thoughtful and personal, revealing how the answers we pursue can shape the choices we make every day.

Along the way, they come to a powerful realization:
Truth may be discovered in a moment—but it is lived out over a lifetime.

What Is Truth? is more than a book.
It’s an invitation.

An invitation for kids, teens, parents, and lifelong learners to explore humanity’s biggest questions, think critically, and engage ideas that shape identity and purpose.
