Liturgies and prayers for daily life.

The Every Moment Holy series brings new liturgies for the ordinary events of daily life, such as "A Liturgy for Feasting with Friends" or "A Liturgy for Laundering" or "A Liturgy for the First Hearthfire of the Season." These prayers are ways of reminding us that our lives are shot through with sacred purpose even when, especially when, we are too busy or too caught up in our busyness to notice.

Illustrations from guest artists

Selected liturgies include accompanying lino-cut illustrations from Craig Hawkins, Emily J Person, Erling Rantrud, Justine Maendel, Ned Bustard, Matthew Clark, and Stephen Crotts.
