Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
On the night before a beloved teacher leaves his city by morning train, a community gathers in an old lecture hall to ask the questions that remain after distraction fails: how to love, how to work, how to grieve, how to speak, how to believe, how to age, and how to live after the people who shaped us are no longer standing before us.
Through twenty-four meditations, Before the Morning Train moves from marriage, children, friendship, and labor to justice, faith, beauty, and death. The result is not a book of easy answers, but a companion for thresholds: departure, loss, vocation, renewal, and the difficult grace of continuing.
