Seamless Life
Description
We all want to make sense of life, of who we are and why we are, and to know that what we do-day in and day out-matters. But daily demands often lead to a life that feels void of meaning and disjointed from our deepest beliefs.
Steven Garber challenges us to move beyond our fragmented sense of reality and begin to see all we are and all we do-our work, play, relationships, worship, and loves-as significant to God. Once we discover that there is no chasm between heaven and earth, we are able to understand the coherence of the work of God and of our lives in the world. This is the seamless life-to see the truest truths of the universe woven into the very meaning of life, labor, learning, and liturgy.
