Beauty. Justice. Identity. Love. Stories. Nature. Hope. These things intrigue us, move us and prompt us to ask big questions. Could there be clues in our deepest desires that point to life’s meaning? Andy Bannister invites you on an immersive tour through the issues that matter. If you have looked at a landscape and contemplated why we are drawn to beauty; or wondered why we are so insatiably curious about our universe, or even for those who have simply looked up at a million stars in the vast night’s sky and just wondered. Andy has drawn some keen observations from people with backgrounds in science, law, linguistics, theology, bioethics, history, and more, to reflect on how their questions have, in some cases, unexpectedly led them to a compelling Christian spirituality and a profound sense of meaning and purpose in life.
