Where on Earth Is Heaven?: Being a Teenager: Spirituality

Stedall explores challenging questions about living and dying, looking and seeing, Heaven and Earth, and our human potential. He draws on forty years film-making experience mostly with the BBC working with inspired artists, scientists, and writers such as John Betjeman, Laurens van der Post, Fritz Schumacher, Bernard Lovell, Malcolm Muggeridge, Alan Bennett, Fritjof Capra, Cecil Collins, Ben Okri, and Mark Tully.

Along the way, he has also pondered deeply on the notion of the human being as a microcosm of the macrocosm, the meaning of eternity as the everlasting now, the role of the holy fool, and the redemptive power of love. Above all, he has been increasingly absorbed not just by what is seen, but also by what is unseen.
