An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor

5.0

I loved this book and although I originally checked it out from the library, I ended up buying it because I know it is one I will return to time and time again. Barbara Brown Taylor has a way of articulating the spiritual life in such a way that it is embodied and deeply experienced. It is a reminder that God is omnipresent if only I were to pay more attention and pause to notice and respond. I love how it permeates into all spheres of life. I especially appreciated the chapter on being fully present to God in each moment and how prayer is often us being fully alive and aware of what and who is in front of us. Lots to think and meditate on and I will definitely be picking this book up again.
