Review

"This accessible book is a go-to resource for people who have questions about life, death, and faith. It provokes and fascinates in equal measure and does not shy away from asking--and answering--the biggest questions from a refreshingly personal, and critical, perspective. In all, this book represents a step-change in the genre, and is an indispensable guide to finding your own answers."--Laura G. E. Smith, senior lecturer in social psychology, University of Bath, UK"Life like travel needs a guide, a map, and always direction. Work, relationships, life skills like negotiating grief and sometimes conflict require support, a listening ear, and advice. Ian Smith offers a general reader and enquirer a wise and generative collection of carefully organized thoughts about God and the possible shape of meaning in faith and our shared mortality."--James Woodward, principal, Sarum College, UK
