Order the Book

As I began to write this book, meaning with a big fat capital M flooded my thoughts. But then a series of other M words emerged as well—words like Mystery, Magnificence, and Mind—and in this book I will take you through them in the hopes that they will serve as markers on your path as you continue to search for your own meaning. As my own search evolved and led me to enroll in interfaith seminary, I found clues in the exploration of many religious traditions that will also be drawn upon here to serve you on your way.

How can we hope to find that specific place that is inside each of us where the joy is palpable? There is no easy answer to this question, but one thing is certain: it involves a sense that one’s life is meaningful. Meaning solves the mystery even as it deepens it. It brings us home even as it opens infinite landscapes of possibilities. Ultimately, though, it eases the pain.
