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.

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.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“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.”
Andrew Peterson
singer-songwriter and author
“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.”
Russell Moore
President, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
“These prayers and liturgies are offered in light of that eternal hope—and in the hope that they might serve the Body of Christ, encouraging us to give ourselves more fully to the experience of our present sorrows in light of those unshakeable joys to come, to better learn what it means to nurture, serve, encourage, and carry one another, and ultimately to reclaim a greater sense that these journeys of dying, caretaking, and grieving are holy moments to be experienced in communion with God, and in fellowship with one another, just as any other facet of our discipleship.”
