Who are we? What do we want from life? What truly matters to us and to those around us? An existential approach from a man of the Church as well as of Science.

Anthology of reflections by Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh (Anthony Bloom) who experienced the turmoil of exile and war. Personal experiences from his long-time work as a doctor and later as a clergyman, as well as testimonies from others.

His work - like himself - is simple, warm, direct, while also dense and profound. Through these pages, the value of life and the beauty that each person holds within them is highlighted.
