Hints of Hope

Essays on Making Peace with the Proximate
BY STEVEN GARBER

Through eight lyrical and reflective essays, one of today’s most thoughtful spiritual writers Steven Garber explores the idea of the “proximate” – a word from the Latin “proximatus,” to draw near. Hints of Hope probes what it means to be human; to wrestle with the contradictions we all face in our marriages, in our workplaces, in our friendships and vocations. Paradoxically, as we make peace with the proximate, our vision is expanded to see more clearly the glimmers of beauty and grace that thread their way through our lives.

STEVEN GARBER has spent his life as a teacher of many people in many places, including his work as Senior Fellow for Vocation and the Common Good for the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and the Economics of Mutuality Alliance. He was the founding principal for the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture, and for several years, he served as the Professor of Marketplace Theology at Regent College.
