Finding Meaning in Life - Word Document [Download]

Rethinking life and its significance.

Overview


It has been said that life is what happens while you re doing other things. Most of our days seem to be filled with those other things, and for many people, the realization that life is slipping by produces anxiety and a sense of futility. When my life ends, they ask, will it make any difference that I have lived? This study challenges us to rethink life and its ultimate significance from an eternal perspective.
