Draw closer to God in the ordinary moments of your day.

With warm Southern wit and profound theological refection, Pastor Thomas Steagald offers this glimpse into a life deeply rooted in prayer.

Over the course of just one day, Steagald reveals his ordinary life: daily pastoral rounds from predawn rising to a rest found only in the assurance of Christ's mercy. In between is a richly textured account of little moments seized for consecration: prayers in the shower, coffee at Hardee's, choir practice, and the surprises that test our perception of what in our lives is God's business.

So it is that Steagald dismantles the strict compartments of our "ordinary" lives an invites us to offer our entire beings to Christ.
