An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor
4.0
A moment i won’t soon forget was reading this book on an airplane while a woman near me was also reading it. I pointed this out to her and we ended up having a very meaningful conversation for 30+ minutes about faith. Turns out she has read this book dozens of times and was able to share all the ways it’s impacted her faith.
