Interview with author and philosopher Esther Lightcap Meek and key players in the unfolding story of Meek’s Longing to Know (Brazos, 2003), in honor of the book's twentieth anniversary.
This conversation: Two of my most creative students, Olivia and Andrew both served as my TAs, and these friends continue to help me in my work. Andrew, a film maker, has produced the intro for these LTK videos. Olivia advises from her savvy about sales. Hear Olivia tell how processing LTK played into her horrific auto crash and lengthy recovery.
Longing to Know: The Philosophy of Knowledge for Ordinary People (Brazos, 2003) is a transformative book about how we go about knowing in every area of our lives. It's especially for people considering Christianity who have issues around faith and reason, certainty and doubt. The book's playful "driving analogy" is that "Knowing God is like knowing your auto mechanic." Check out Meek's work at www.estherlightcapmeek.com
