Publisher Description
“Readers who are dealing with depression, parenting struggles, questions of identity and self-image, or who simply find it hard to bring prayer into their chaotic life will find welcome encouragement in Lawler’s rejuvenating words.” – Publishers Weekly
Popular writer and blogger Kara Lawler shows women how to embrace the sacred in mundane, ordinary life--and in the process, discover themselves.
Life doesn't have to be lived on grand mountaintops for it to be meaningful. We can see God at work right where we are: in our ordinary and mundane routines, in the faces of our family and friends, and--especially--in nature.
Kara Lawler speaks to the hearts of those who find themselves lost in the midst of their chaotic schedules and weary attempts to be all that is expected of them. Everywhere Holy addresses our deepest struggles, including:
How to feel joy, despite depression and anxietyDealing with hardships and understanding unconditional loveHow to view life as an adventure, even when that feels too hardHow to feel more connected, more grateful, and more at peace
In beautiful prose, Lawler describes the unique sacredness found in God's creation and offers fifteen inspiring insights for cultivating it day-to-day. She encourages you to make this lifestyle change through the observance of small acts. In so doing, you will discover a holy space that honors God and the life you’ve been given--and will discover yourself and your unique place in the holy that is everywhere, whether it’s in the woods behind your house or in the face of a stranger on a bus in a busy city. No matter where you are, there is holy free for the taking.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Blogger Lawler (A Letter for Every Mother) invites readers in this hopeful, uplifting testament to draw closer to God and therefore to their authentic selves by looking to uncover beauty within ordinary moments. Sharing personal stories from her home in the Appalachian Mountains, Lawler's quiet reveries and reflections have the feel of a contemplative spiritual retreat. Whether she's washing freshly laid eggs or revisiting her childhood home in search of the little girl she used to be, Lawler's meditative storytelling is authentic and spiritually insightful. She also candidly chronicles her struggle with depression and anxiety, and how this has affected her relationship with God and her family. Instead of offering the typical end-of-chapter questions so readers can better apply what they read, Lawler addresses the reader midstory to ask questions and provide time to pause and reflect. Christian readers who are dealing with depression, parenting struggles, questions of identity and self-image, or who simply find it hard to bring prayer into their chaotic life will find welcome encouragement in Lawler's rejuvenating words.
