In her critically acclaimed Leaving Church ("a beautiful,
absorbing memoir"--The Dallas Morning News), Barbara Brown Taylor
wrote about her experience leaving full-time ministryto become a
professor, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith.
Now, in her stunning follow-up, An Altar in the World, she shares
how she learned to encounter God far beyond the walls of the
church.
Taylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the
small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking,
working, and prayer. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a
clothesline becomes an act of meditation if we pay attention to
what we're doing and take time to notice the sights, smells, and
sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the
grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing
yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate
these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars
everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do. Through Taylor's
expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to
live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world
we live in.
