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.

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.

Book Description
Awesome. Amazing. The Best Ever. If we are honest with ourselves, we have all wanted--even longed for--these kinds of extraordinary moments. This natural human desire seeps into our faith journeys too. We want the mountaintop experiences with God, we want to sense his presence in bright, tangible ways. But real life and real faith are far more about ordinary living and faithfulness than they are about experiencing one WOW moment after the next. Alicia Brummeler challenges readers to stop waiting for the extraordinary by recognizing how ordinary life is a pathway for encountering God. She provides practical tools for meeting God anytime, anywhere. Everywhere God is a story of finding God in everyday life. From her days as a young wife and mother to her days of parenting teenagers while juggling a teaching career, Alicia chronicles her discoveries about the goodness of ordinary, everyday faith in an accessible, engaging manner. She shows readers that experiencing God's presence isn't another task to accomplish, but a way of looking at daily life and recognizing God in the midst of it.

Book Description
Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."
