In Everyday Sacred: A Woman's Journey Home (HarperSanFrancisco: now in its sixth printing), Bender speaks to our longing to make each day truly count. She chronicles her struggle to bring the joyful wisdom and simplicity she experienced in her sojourn with the Amish back to her hectic, too-much-to-do days at home. Bender discovers for herself, and in the process shows us, that small miracles can be found everywhere'in our homes, in our daily activities and, hardest to see, in ourselves.
Profiles and interviews with Ms. Bender, as well as book excerpts have been published in countless national publications including Reader's Digest, The Washington Post, Ladies' Home Journal, The Chicago Tribune, The Utne Reader, and W Magazine. She has also appeared as a guest on dozens of radio and television shows.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sue Bender takes the lessons she learns in her own life to weave a stunningly warmhearted story of our universal quest to live each day more fully. Her struggle is one keenly felt in todays intensely pressured and time-starved world: how can we experience our lives fully in whatever we are doing at the moment whether cleaning the kitchen, faced with a situation that frustrates us, or momentarily exhilarated by some new fortune thats befallen us. Inspired by the image of the empty begging bowl that Zen monks would start each day with to solicit enough food to nourish and sustain them, Bender discovers for herself and shows us in the process how to find that which is just enough to fill our lives each day. The lessons along Benders path of doubt and hope reveal that each step is a place to learn and that we can seek the sacred everywhere in our homes, in our daily activities, and hardest to see, in ourselves.
