The Journey: Our Quest for Faith and Meaning (Os Guiness, 2001) spacer The Journey: Our Quest for Faith and Meaning (Os Guiness, 2001)
BY: Denis Haack

We have regularly called attention to the Trinity Forum Study Series, convinced that they will stimulate thoughtful discussion on issues that matter. These two additions to the series, The Journey (addressing the yearning for meaning in life and death) and Entrepreneurs of Life (about how to find and fulfill one’s central purpose in life) are no exception. Containing readings from a wide variety of sources, both Christian and non-Christian, fiction and nonfiction, and a study guide, each volume is all you need to lead a discussion. And since they contain such rich material, they are also a helpful addition to the library of every thoughtful believer. The Journey, for example, includes readings from Nietzsche, Peter Berger, Plato, Pascal, C. S. Lewis, Darwin, Scripture, Camus, Chesterton, and Shirley MacLaine and many more.

spacer There are tulips on my desk, and I saw my first robin yesterday, clear signals that winter is losing its grip on the landscape. The newspaper reported an ice jam on a nearby river that forced the closure of several roads. Chunks of ice the size of dinner tables slammed through a county park. Even something as glorious of the arrival of spring is never as perfectly smooth as we would hope in this broken world. We are, as my spiritual mentor used to say, glorious ruins.

Finding what it means to flourish as broken human being in an imperfect world is what Ransom is about. We believe in Jesus Christ, though often find ourselves dismayed at what passes for Christianity in our postmodern world. We hope what you find on this site will be helpful in your own pilgrimage, regardless of where you happen to find yourself at the moment.
