The Life Of Meaning

In this thoughtful collection, extraordinary people describe how faith is possible amid the tragedy and senselessness of contemporary existence. Their insights on community, prayer, suffering, religious observance, the choice to live with or without a god and the meanings that are gleaned from everyday life form an elegant meditation that acknowledges the desire to search for something beyond what we can see and measure. Features over 60 contributors, including Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, Studs Terkel, Rabbi Harold Kushner, Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor and more.
