Quest for a Meaningful Life: through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism

By Ivan Beggs

These are stories of one person's Quest for a Meaningful Life. He listened to neighbors, friends, co-workers, strangers in airports, in airplanes, on a ship, in coffee shops, bars, and in places long forgotten. He listened to people in the US, England, Germany, Romania, France, China, India, Vietnam, South Korea, and in South America.

People felt comfortable talking with him. They quietly whispered about a meaningful life. Many had concerns about pain, suffering, evil, love, sex, afterlife, forgiveness, experiencing God, and more.

So, he explored how Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism, all of which are 77% of the world's population, answered their concerns. Yet, the laypeople quietly had lingering unease with the responses from the clergy. Then he suggests how to create a meaningful life with or without religion.

The book is thought provoking for both individual reading, group study, and comparative religion classes.
