The Journey to Truth Is an Experience is the first English translation of three booklets written from 1959-64: Riflessioni sopra un'esperienza (Reflections on an Experience), Tracce d'esperienza cristiana (Traces of the Christian Experience) and Appunti di metodo cristiano (Notes on the Christian Method). The three texts were collected in a single volume that was published in a new edition, Il cammino al vero è un'esperienza.

It begins with a guide on how to live the Christian life within the Student Youth community, followed by a call to base one's relationship with Christ on the example set by the apostles and other figures in the New Testament. Giussani concludes by outlining the movement's mission and the possibility for community, charity, and communion in the Christian life.
