Introducing Every Moment Holy

 

Every Moment Holy, Vol. 1, is a book of liturgies for the ordinary events of daily life--liturgies such as "A Liturgy for Feasting with Friends" or "A Liturgy for Laundering" or "A Liturgy for the First Hearthfire of the Season." These 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.

 

Every Moment Holy, Vol. 2: Death, Grief, & Hope, is a book of liturgies for seasons of dying and grieving--liturgies such as "A Liturgy for the Scattering of Ashes" or "A Liturgy for the Loss of a Spouse" or "A Liturgy for the Wake of a National Tragedy" or "A Liturgy for the Weighing of Last-Stage Medical Options." These are ways of reminding us that our lives are shot through with sacred purpose and eternal hopes even when, especially when, suffering and pain threaten to overwhelm us.

Every Moment Holy, Volume III: The Work of the People is a book of over 100 new liturgies for daily life, drawing on a range of writers, artists, poets, songwriters, pastors, and illustrators (with Douglas Kaine McKelvey both writing and editing). With prayers by Malcolm Guite, Ellie Holcomb, Philip Yancey, Ruth Chou Simons, Sho Baraka, Andrew Peterson and more, this collection represents a community of believers engaged in the work of reminding all of us that our lives are shot through with sacred purpose and eternal hopes even in the midst of the everyday moments that make up our lives.

“The apps on our smartphones, packed with messages and notifications about meetings, practices, church activities, and clubs, testify every moment to the frenetic pace of our modern lives. If you’re like me, you thought that COVID-19 might slow things down and give us a much-needed break from that lifestyle. But I’ve found that we’re just as busy, if not busier than before. Even though I know that God cares about and sees when I sit down and when I rise up (Ps. 139:2); even though I know that every moment is infused with meaning and purpose; more often than I’d like to admit, days flash by without much thought about what I’m doing or why.

The daily liturgies in Every Moment Holy apply Scripture’s command to pray without ceasing, and remind us of the weight of these moments. Whether I’m reading one to myself in a rare quiet moment, or using them as a part of our family worship, I am drawn to see our frantic lives through a gospel lens. These liturgies are formative, shaping my eyes to see glory in the ordinary things around me, slowing me down to appreciate the blessings of God I’d been too busy to see before. For anyone who craves daily reminders of the weight of glory, I can’t recommend these books highly enough.”

“Maybe you’re new to liturgy, maybe it has long been part of your tradition—either way, our hope is that you would let these prayers edify you, reshape your thinking, recalibrate your compass, ignite your imagination, and pique your longing for the world to come. Doug’s robust theology has come together with artist Ned Bustard’s profoundly meaningful artwork (every inch of every illustration is crammed with Christian imagery) to create a book that we hope will live on for generations to come, giving voice to prayers we didn’t know we needed to pray, as the kingdom comes on earth—in every holy moment—just as it is in heaven.”

“Every Moment Holy helps me to seek God’s blessing in everything from starting a new book, to setting up a Christmas tree, to marking a birthday. These prayers also help when words are hard to find—in a night of suffering, or after a house fire, or a friend’s death. It’s filled with biblical wisdom and beautiful writing.”
