The 152-page book published by Pauline Publications-Mumbai, is divided into three parts: Experiences and Meaning; Prayer and Meaning; Meaning and Forgiveness, providing a ``veritable road-map to walk the path of life in pursuit of meaning leading to spiritual growth -our own and the others whose lives we touch in passing.`` Evolved out of Fr Thannickal`s ministry of over 30 years in teaching, learning and retreat programmes, and in particular from the author`s popular course ``Meaningful Living` offered to clergy and religious, the book banks heavily on Victor Frankl`s - Man`s Search for Meaning, while providing meaningful encounters from the life and teachings of Jesus and illustrations from the lives of Don Bosco and Mother Teresa. The author warns of the dangers of reductionism and determinism, the two trends in thinking that could pose a threat to the effort to lead a meaningful life. This book could serve as a guide to people grappling with the question: how to respond with pardon and forgiveness in a highly competitive society? A four page epilogue on ``Christ, the meaning of our lives.,`` is ``a veritable catechesis of redemption through grace,`` and Fr Thannickal points out ``how Jesus of Nazareth has impacted history with what he said and did expanding the meaning of the fundamental experiences of human life.`` Book Details: Gifted Journey - Search for Your Meaning, Transcend Your Limitations, Partner with Your God, Dr. Joe Thannickal SDB, Pauline Publications, Mumbai, 2012.
