Every Moment Holy, Vol. 1, is a book of liturgies for the ordinary events of daily life--liturgies such as "A Liturgy for Feasting with Friends" or "A Liturgy for Laundering" or "A Liturgy for the First Hearthfire of the Season." These 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.

This "Pocket Edition" is smaller in size and made with a flexible cover. It fits easily in a bag or glovebox or coat pocket--perfect for everyday use while on the move. It includes all the liturgies from the Volume I hardcover edition plus a new liturgy from the forthcoming book featuring liturgies for seasons of dying and mourning.

Additional features include:

• over 100 liturgies for daily life (including liturgies for meals)
• beautiful leather-bound flex-cover
• and two new illustrations by Ned Bustard.

Hello, my name is Patrick. You may have heard my story. I walked the span of Ireland to tell of God’s great glory. And with a wee green shamrock I shared of the Three-in-One: our God—the blessed mystery— Father, Spirit, and the Son. Everybody's Irish on Saint Patrick's Day. But did you know that Patrick—the greatest bishop of Ireland—wasn't Irish? Combining Patrick's words from his Confessions with a few of the legends about him, this whimsical retelling will teach families about the fascinating life of the real Saint Patrick and help them discover a remarkable story of love and forgiveness along the way. Told in rollicking rhyme and beautifully illustrated with Ned Bustard's signature linocut artwork, this children's book will be enjoyed by kids and the adults who read with them. Also included is a note from the author to encourage further conversation about the content. Discover IVP Kids and share with children the things that matter to God!
