- it
- possible
- to
- know
- the
- world
- and
- still
- love
- the
- world?Of
- all
- the
- questions
- we
- ask
- about
- our
- calling,
- this
- is
- the
- most
- difficult.
- From
- marriages
- to
- international
- relations,
- the
- more
- we
- know,
- the
- harder
- it
- is
- to
- love.
- We
- become
- cynics
- or
- stoics,
- protecting
- our
- hearts
- from
- the
- implications
- of
- what
- we
- know.
- But
- what
- if
- the
- vision
- of
- vocation
- can
- be
- recovered—allowing
- us
- to
- step
- into
- the
- wounds
- of
- the
- world
- and
- for
- love's
- sake
- take
- up
- our
- responsibility
- for
- the
- way
- the
- world
- turns
- out?For
- decades
- Steve
- Garber
- has
- come
- alongside
- a
- wide
- range
- of
- people
- as
- they
- seek
- to
- make
- sense
- of
- the
- world
- and
- their
- lives.
- With
- him
- we
- meet
- leaders
- from
- the
- Tiananmen
- Square
- protest
- who
- want
- a
- good
- reason
- to
- still
- care
- about
- China.
- We
- also
- meet
- with
- many
- ordinary
- people
- in
- ordinary
- places
- who
- long
- for
- their
- lives
- to
- matter:Vocation
- is
- when
- we
- come
- to
- know
- the
- world
- in
- all
- its
- joy
- and
- pain
- and
- still
- love
- it.
- Vocation
- is
- following
- our
- calling
- to
- seek
- the
- welfare
- of
- the
- world
- we
- live
- in.
- And
- in
- helping
- the
- world
- to
- flourish,
- strangely,
- mysteriously,
- we
- find
- that
- we
- flourish
- too.
- Garber
- offers
- a
- book
- for
- everyone
- everywhere—for
- students,
- for
- parents,
- for
- those
- in
- the
- arts,
- in
- the
- academy,
- in
- public
- service,
- in
- the
- trades
- and
- in
- commerce—for
- all
- who
- want
- to
- discover
- the
- virtue
- of vocation.
