In this beautifully imagined book, the hardest question of history is seriously asked and seriously answered: “Can we know the world, and still love the world?” Born of a pilgrimage of years together as father and son, we are invited to look over their shoulders and through their hearts, learning with them that “to cry is human”—not a response to avoid, but instead a profoundly holy and therefore deeply human way of seeing and hearing the world with its griefs and heartaches and sorrows, longing for what could be, yearning for what someday will be. In That Beautiful Question we are drawn into a deep and unusual kinship born of a long love, listening as they wrestle with the world, even as they choose and choose again to love the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eSteven Garber\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor, Hints of Hope and The Seamless Life, Senior Fellow, Vocation and the Common Good, M.
