We have difficulty believing that life is meaningless. But is the meaning in our lives just a recurring historical or philosophical pattern, or is it, as G.K. Chesterton suggests, a picture – that is, a story? This Reading Collection helps people who are already comfortable with the big questions of life to explore what we have found to be the ultimate answer: the person of Jesus.
