Human: How our deepest longings lead us home.
What does it mean to be Human?
It’s an essential question that we seldom stop to consider in our fast-paced age of life hacks and filters. If headlines are anything to go by we seem to be suffering from a kind of species-wide amnesia as to the reason for our being.
We’re restless.
Reaching for superficial satisfaction to plug the leaking holes in our existential buckets. It’s a strategy that’s bound to fail. The ache we’re trying to soothe, that burning in our bones, is crying out for substance, not selfies.
It is the symptom of our deepest longings for the eternity from which we were made. Longings for Goodness, Beauty and Truth that, if we give them our attention, can lead us home.
In this, his first, book, Matthew helps us do just that. Through poems, short stories, devotional reflections and imagery provided by the talented Tenille Douglas, Human invites us to attend to our deepest longings and there to meet with Jesus.
