In An Altar in the World, Barbara Taylor shares how she learned to encounter God far beyond the walls of the church.
Taylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking, working, and prayer. Something as ordinary has hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of meditation we pay attention to what we're doing and take time to notice the sights, smells and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do.
Through Taylor's expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down and practice reverence.
