Every Moment Holy, Volume 1 (Pocket Edition)

"Having these liturgies to jumpstart my prayers has made so many daily tasks more intentional and meaningful." -- Annie F. Downs author of 100 Days To Brave

Every Moment Holy includes new liturgies for the ordinary events of daily life, such as:

• A Liturgy for Feasting with Friends
• A Liturgy for Laundering
• A Liturgy for the First Hearthfire of the Season

These prayers are ways of reminding us that our lives are shot through with sacred purpose even when, especially when, we are too busy or too caught up in our busyness to notice. The liturgies in the Every Moment Holy series will encourage you to practice mindfulness of the constant presence of God, drawing you toward greater recognition of the eternal echoes resounding in every moment of our lives.

Volume I Pocket Edition Features:

• All 100+ liturgies and prayers from the original Volume I (Hardcover Edition)
• Imitation leather flexi-cover
• Smaller size: 5.5 inches wide by 7 inches tall
• Silk bookmark

"Every Moment Holy helps me to seek God's blessing in everything from starting a new book, to setting up a Christmas tree, to marking a birthday. These prayers also help when words are hard to find--in a night of suffering, or after a house fire, or a friend's death. It's filled with biblical wisdom and beautiful writing." -- Russell Moore, author of Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

"This book of liturgies has been a daily field guide over the past two years. It captures the spirit of celebration, lament, gratitude, and perseverance when my heart cannot find words. Each morning I wake encouraged and strengthened to begin anew." -- Rebekah Lyons, author of Rhythms of Renewal and You Are Free
