"Steven Garber takes us on a personal journey—with many stops, and in many dimensions, transcending time and geography—to see life as he sees it: seamlessly. His collection of essays guides us in understanding the meaning of vocation and affirms our humanness; made in the very image of God, we cannot but care about the way the world is. Refreshing and challenging."

The book is a feast for the eyes, the mind, and the heart, and Garber's best work yet."

"In The Seamless Life, Steven Garber culls a lifetime of observation, reflection, and writing into what can only be called a masterpiece on vocation. With gentle, persuasive, artful language, Steven gives the reader a true picture of a faithful life. It is a seamless vision of word and work based in love, lived for the benefit of all and the glory of God. I cannot recommend this manual of meaning and mission more strongly. This book contains the truest truths, the deepest wisdom, and love that knows no limits."

"Steven Garber's delightful prose reminds us once again of the importance of reflecting deeply upon that which is most meaningful: our very purpose.

Well done, good and faithful servant! Well done."

"This modern life often feels fragmented. Steve Garber's new collection of words and writings, The Seamless Life, gently weaves coherence and grace from the far corners of vocation, friendship, and spirituality. A skillful storyteller, Garber puts himself forward effortlessly. The Seamless Life is like good conversation, and it reads as if you are sitting with an old friend across the table.

"I do not think I can name another author whose books are so intensely esteemed and indeed treasured by a cadre of followers, readers who in many cases have become friends of the author, than Steven Garber. His transforming words are always given flesh in his books as he moves deftly from big ideas to daily consequences, between hearing and doing, principles and practice. But in this new collection of essays, stories, anecdotes, and reflections, he allows us deeper into his life, his work, and his marriage. The Seamless Life is a kingdom-sized glimpse of a good life lived with coherence and commitments, animated sometimes with rather ordinary days and then with astonishing episodes of extraordinary experiences. This is one of the best collections of essays I have ever read and is perhaps Garber's finest achievement yet. Don't miss this wise, achingly beautiful book."

"The Seamless Life is a compilation of Steven Garber's serious reflections on living and loving in a wounded world. Each essay is accompanied by a striking and provocative image, the words and photos drawing us in, becoming a balm to our weary souls in the midst of the beautiful and the broken nature of life in this world. A labor of his heart, this book is a gift born of love for all of us who stumble along with him in a world hungry for shalom."

"I frequently meet people who are engaged in fruitful work for the life of the world, and in most cases I discover that those people are just a few degrees of separation from someone who has had a life-altering conversation with Steven Garber. This book gives you the sense that you are sitting with him, sipping coffee, and gleaning from his wisdom. As your eyes move across its pages, you will notice that you are able to see with greater clarity the world beyond this book, the world as it really is, full of beauty to be cultivated and brokenness to be mended—seeing yourself as you are, and seeing yourself as implicated to steward some aspect of God's world, giving you a glimpse of the God who weaves our stories together into his ultimate story of redemption. The depth of wisdom, compelling stories, and honest questions make The Seamless Life a unique gift to those who seek to pursue the common good in this complex world."

"The Seamless Life is wise, warm, and winning. Steven Garber generously offers a lifetime of thoughtful engagement with work, vocation, and worship (and many other topics) in photos and short vignettes that are poetic, full of good stories, and a joy to read. This is a nourishing feast in bite-size portions. I sat down to savor it and found I did not want to put it down. If you've ever wondered how your ordinary work—and ordinary life—matter to God or in the big, wide world, this book will encourage and inspire."

"Down deep I think all of us were made to live a seamless life . . . one of coherence, connectedness, and deep meaning. The problem is sometimes the 'down deep' is so deep down that I lose my awareness of that longing and find myself living scattered, hurried, and a bit adrift. Steven's book is a map of how to live well in this world. I was moved to tears, mentally challenged, and soulfully stirred to navigate my life my by this truest of North Stars."

"One good question is better than a thousand wrong answers. The Seamless Life is full of good questions—excellent, profound, meaningful, surprising, deep, life-challenging, sensible questions, or simply, truthful questions. Very human, very ordinary, very special, I have known Steven Garber for many years. When you read him, you feel how much he cares for your life. His words have given me space to think about my own place in this world. Why I am here, what am I doing here, and why does it matter? And who am I in relation to all of these questions? I grew up in a very dualistic society, the communistic totality of Czechoslovakia. It was clear who was right and wrong. Living a seamless, truthful life, a life of integrity, is maybe even more difficult today, thirty years after the Velvet Revolution. And that is why I recommend this book, hoping that you will see it as an open window, an invitation to a more seamless life."

"The Seamless Life is an accurate analysis of the crisis facing society today—a longing for wholeness. The book addresses the need for coherence between the state of our being and the act of our doing. It is unique and refreshing to read."

"In this fallen world, our eyes are well fed with brokenness and fragmented pictures, often paralyzing our imagination of what our lives were supposed to be. Through his collection of essays, Steve Garber helps us catch a glorious vision of our hope in Christ, a coherent life, a seamless life. Without denying the complexities of the already-but-not-yet world, this work enriches our perspective of the hope we have for the world to experience wholeness in various contexts: family, educational practice, economics, daily work and prayer, and many others. And The Seamless Life extends the compelling invitation to love and participate in God's work to heal this broken world."

"The Seamless Life is at once deeply philosophical and at the same time folksy and welcoming—like Steve himself. This book is the fruit of a lifetime of work-in-love, stitched in a beautiful pattern for the pleasure our Creator and the ennobling of his readers. And this is at the heart of all his work: to please the Creator is to fully live into our own vocation. Our Maker truly loves and desires for us the very best and highest we can become: made in God's image, we are makers ourselves, and our hearts are restless until we make something—something beautiful. Steven Garber has done just that—he has made a beautiful book, a book worth seeing."

"The Seamless Life is a creative, beautiful, and winsome lens for better understanding what it is to live and love faithfully in a broken world. Steve Garber brings the rare insight that comes from years of paying close attention and listening well to the deepest longings of the human heart. This book is a gift."

"In this unique book, Steven Garber gives us the chance to see the world with him, through the eyes of his mind and heart—and his deft use of a camera. These stunning photographs and written vignettes also disclose Garber's own vocation exercised in the daily struggle to see the world truthfully, to know it in its heartache and pain, and to keep loving it still. His spying heart invites us to see our own corner of the world better, honor its complicated goodness and beauty, and love our places and people with creativity, courage, and above all, hope."
