Everyday Matters

In spite of how it is often treated, the everyday does matter to God. And if we're a follower of Jesus, it should matter to us. Everyday Matters argues the case for taking ordinary activities seriously enough so that our faith shapes and changes the very ways we eat, work, inhabit houses and neighbourhoods, drive, shop, connect with others through hi tech devices, and play and watch sport. All these arenas of life (among others) are opportunities for both worship and transformation. Instead of just unthinkingly treating such activities as inconsequential to our faith, the gospel calls us to evaluate and redeem them in quite distinctive ways. In order to do this we need to develop a robust and practical theology for everyday life. This book will help individuals and communities of faith to begin this journey.
