Does My Soul Look Big in This?

There are big questions in life that most of us come up against at some stage or other. They may look something like this: Does my life have a point? Do things really have to change? Am I happy enough? Will I ever be 'in' with the 'in crowd'? Where on earth is home? It's up to us to choose how we deal with these issues. We can push them away by letting ourselves become so busy and distracted that we drown them out. Or we can face them full on, and start exploring the deepest possibilities of our lives. The latter is what Does My Soul Look Big in This? aims to help us do. Warm and accessible, it's a book for a generation unafraid to be vulnerable; for people longing for a spirituality that is relevant and real.
