About this item

“Taylor is one of those rare people who truly can see the holy in everything. . . . Savor this book.” — Publishers Weekly “Taylor writes fluently, with an eye and ear for the striking image and memorable phrase. Many readers, especially the vast numbers of the “unchurched” but “spiritual,” will find support and useful counsel.” — Library Journal In An Altar in the World, New York Times bestselling author Barbara Brown Taylor continues her spiritual journey by building upon where she left off in Leaving Church. With the honesty of Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) and the spiritual depth of Anne Lamott (Grace, Eventually), Taylor shares how she learned to find God beyond the church walls by embracing the sacred as a natural part of everyday life. An Altar in the World shares: Meaningful ways to discover the sacredness within the small things like walking, working, and prayer. How your ordinary tasks can be a chance to meditate if you take time to notice the sights, smells, and sounds around you. The importance of true human connection. Taylor shows us how to discover altars everywhere we go and in nearly everything we do as we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in.
