"An Altar in the World"

"An Altar in the World" by Barbara Brown Taylor explores how everyday life can serve as a sacred space. Rather than seeking spirituality only in traditional places like churches, the book encourages recognizing the divine presence in ordinary moments—such as a walk in nature, caring for others, or daily routines. It highlights that sacredness isn’t confined to special locations but woven into the routines and objects around us. By seeing our daily lives as altars—sacred sites—we can find spirituality and deeper meaning in the simplicity of our everyday experiences.
