A New Way of Seeing

Meaning in Life and the Christian Vision of Nature

De: Pierce Alexander Marks

Narrado por: Jon Gerten

Despite many warnings, the larger public has just now become aware that moderns are suffering from a crisis of meaning, in which everything we do and are can come to seem meaningless, futile, and absurd. We may doubt not only the meaningfulness of our lives, but whether meaning, value, and goodness exist at all.

That is where this book comes in. Within, forgotten elements of the Christian moral paradigm are described in their most basic details, and offered as a solution to the meaning crisis. Far from being rare, meaning and value in life are, if Christianity is true, unavoidable. For all of creation—all of reality—is good, beautiful, loveable, meaningful and even divine. Our perception that life is meaningless is, then, merely a self-centered blindness, an inability to see what is right in front of us.

Understanding the Goodness of Life

Listening to this reading of Pierce Alexander Marks’s was quite eye opening. I like Marks see the world as beautiful and good, however, reading this book has given me an appreciation of the mundane and see the good in the little things that I might have passed by without given a thought of in the past. Furthermore, Marks has also given me a great understanding that all that god has created is good in nature, therefore I should do my best to understand what I usually find as evil, and find the good in what God has created and not judge. I greatly recommend this book to all and especially to those who look to see the world differently.
