From “one of our most important progressive Christian voices” (Jen Hatmaker), an urgent invitation to actually love the world even when it breaks your heart
Many of us were taught to look for God in the extraordinary: in big callings, dramatic transformations, affirmations of constant achievement, or in lives that inspire millions. But what if that way of seeing has left us unable to recognize that God is also present in the everyday—especially now, when headlines are overwhelming, our systems feel broken, and hope seems naïve? What does it mean to actually live a faithful, meaningful life when the world is on fire and nothing turns out as advertised?
Drawing from her own story of faith, disillusionment, motherhood, and decades of work as a spiritual guide, Sarah Bessey believes there comes a time when you decide that being earnest and sincere is better than being defeated. She names what she calls “ordinary altars”: places and people where the holy and the commonplace meet, not as an escape from our daily lives but as full-bodied engagement with the questions of our time and an encounter with the God who is with us in it all. Blending rich storytelling and compassionate spiritual insight, Ordinary Altars is a declaration of choosing stubbornly, again and again, to keep loving your small patch of the world when it would be easier to shut down or walk away or even become what you despise.
For readers who are spiritually tired but still hopeful, deconstructed but longing to rebuild, grappling with despair but determined to make room in their spirituality for the ache in their chest, Ordinary Altars offers honest field notes for a sturdy faith that can bear the weight of the world—rooted in reality, loving defiantly, and being stubbornly faithful enough to make the world feel like home again.

“This is Sarah Bessey’s best book yet—bracing insight, warm wisdom, and a strong shove back into God’s embarrassing love. I needed this book more than I knew. Who else could ask us to love this ordinary, aching world, and mean it?”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason
“Sarah Bessey writes for every version of us: the wide-eyed child, the optimistic young adult, the worn-out parent, and the heartbroken Christian desperate for reminders that the world is still worth loving. This exquisite book pastored and mothered me.”—Emily P. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk into a Room
“This is Sarah Bessey’s best work, and I have read every word she has ever written. This book will not change the particulars of your life . . . but you will close the last page having fallen in love with the particular life you are already living. Come to this book exactly as you are, where you live, in the family and body you have, every square inch sacred.”—Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author of Awake
“The wisdom Sarah Bessey sets forth on these pages is ancient and ever so timely, inviting us to see with renewed vision that our ordinary, mundane, quotidian lives are sacred, the dwelling place of the Divine, the site where Love blooms in the field of this broken and beautiful world. We need this book more than ever!”—Drew Jackson, poet and author of Meditations for the Apocalypse
