"Having first heard of Michael Polanyi in the late 1990's, I was excited to see John Frame and others recommending the relevant work of Esther Lightcap Meek. For me, Longing to Know was a welcoming introduction to her thoughts on Polanyi and the human adventure of how we move towards knowing.

​As a philosophically inclined visual artist, I've spent years yearning and struggling to see my own believing, reasoning, and imagining grow up together. Through her sound analysis, approachable examples, and intuitive good sense, Esther leads her readers along, helpfully unfolding what she so wisely advocates. Simply put, this book made me long to read more of her work and learn more! And I'm glad I did, because it gets even deeper and richer! Looking forward to more...

Many thanks to Esther! Congratulations on 20 years of Longing To Know!" — Nathan Bertling, Visual Artist
