Five things about An Altar in the World by Barbara Taylor Brown
1. This is a wonderful dip in and out kind of book. Each chapter is a complete devotional in and of itself.
2. I say “devotional” but I tend to find “devotionals” trite and hollow. This is, at no point, either of those things.
3. This book is deep and thoughtful and open and calls it’s readers to be the same.
4. I walk away from it knowing the whole world is the house of God. The very act of being is the whole of praise.
5. If you want a book that marries contemplation, logic, and faith without trivializing any of it and allowing each reader to be simply where and how they are without judgment then you’ve found your book.
