Longing for More Man's Quest for Meaning and the Hope of Christ

Why do people long for more? Why, in an age of progress and endless possibilities, do so many feel restless, fragmented, and unfulfilled? Longing for More: Man’s Quest for Meaning and the Hope of Christ explores humanity’s enduring search for purpose in a world increasingly marked by disillusionment. Blake S. Hart masterfully weaves intellectual history, philosophy, and theology to trace the unraveling of meaning in modernity—from the optimism of scientific progress to the existential despair of postmodernism and New Atheism. Through the insights of profound thinkers like Dostoevsky, Eliot, and Frankl, readers will grapple with life’s deepest questions. Voices of restoration such as Chesterton, Lewis, and Tolkien illuminate the way forward, revealing how beauty, imagination, and faith rekindle meaning in an age of doubt. This book is a call to reclaim purpose through faith, community, and the Christian narrative. With practical wisdom and inspiring clarity, Longing for More invites readers to rediscover the joy and hope found in Christ, equipping them to live as restorers in a world longing for meaning. It is an invitation to the greatest journey of all.
