Overview:

Everywhere Holy is a book best read by candlelight with a cup of tea in hand. Lawler’s cozy stories open readers’ eyes to the beauty that surrounds them in their own everyday lives. She illuminates God’s work in the mundane and invites readers into the art of seeing holiness in the smallest of things.

This book is for the woman who longs for more—more than busy schedules, more than tedious tasks, more than going through the motions. It’s for the woman seeking light, peace, and genuine gratitude in the midst of routine. It’s for the woman who is seeking her place in the holy world God has created.

Lawler’s prose paints even the simplest of moments as glimpses of God’s holiness. Tales of her childhood, her marriage, and her journey of motherhood build on the applicable, actionable wisdom she provides to help readers cultivate a lifestyle of observation.

Each chapter provides examples of mindful practices, such as noticing snippets of beauty, maintaining childlike perspective, and whispering small prayers regularly. These pieces of wisdom teach readers the spiritual practice of acknowledging simple beauty. With Lawler’s book, readers will discover new ways to recognize and honor God with the lives they’ve been given.
