Description

Extraordinary people will say extraordinary things, especially when it's Bob Abernathy and his team at PBS' Religion and Ethics News Weekly. The Life of Meaning presents 59 contributors speaking candidly about their search for meaning in their own personal lives, their experience of God and, for some, the struggle to reconcile faith and doubt. This collection asks the big questions and elicits the most surprising answers from a Who's Who of today's serious religious and spiritual thinkers from across a spectrum of faiths and denominations.
