Was I ever thrilled to come across this title at my public library after having read Memorizing Scripture by Glenna Marshall. Everyday Faithfulness is an older title, but one that is chock full of practical advice and sound teaching.
Book Synopsis
What does Christian faithfulness look like when life feels unpredictable, hard, or just plain ordinary? We want to follow Jesus, but it’s easy to become more focused on our present situation than on a long view of faithfulness. Working through the unique challenges that come with seasons of waiting, caretaking, suffering, worry, spiritual dryness, and more, Everyday Faithfulness delves into practical ways to build habits into everyday life that will aid in spiritual growth throughout a lifetime.

Book Thoughts
In many ways, this book sets the tone and pace for Christian discipleship, making it a daily walk that depends on routines and patterns of behaviour that are meant to guide us over time. Breaking down the book into different seasons of life, along with varying stages of our Christian walk, it reduces any barriers that we may erect in having a consistent relationship with God. This book is incredibly helpful in defying common excuses that may come to mind when delaying or deferring activities that may aid in our spiritual growth, including Bible reading, prayer, and attending church.
I appreciate the analogies used in this book, such as farming or gardening, to illustrate how what we do each day matters. Acknowledging the demands on our time, particularly for Christian women and mothers, the author delves into how essential it is that we prepare for eternity now. By laying the path for small actions we can daily take, this book imparts how our intentionality can result in deeper spiritual fruit. Readers wanting a reminder that each day can count for God's Kingdom will find this to be a refreshing book that encourages us in everyday faithfulness.
