Review: Everyday Faithfulness

Everyday Faithfulness book cover on blue background

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.

Reader Identity

The more I share my book thoughts and reviews, the more amazed I am at how many readers there are out there and just how many people enjoy talking about the books they're reading. Quite frankly, I'm blown away by the notion that there are people actively wanting to adopt the persona of being a reader, whereas I remember growing up, it was stigmatized as either boring or 'nerdy'. I used to cringe when I was in a position where I was asked to share about my hobbies as reading seemed to generate a sort of response where others would murmur about how they didn't know that people did that for fun. To be fair, this might have been some of the social circles or settings I've been a part of over the years, but I think reading has generally become more mainstream now. Thankfully, I can let people know that I spend almost all of my free time reading (amongst other things), and others don't seem to bat an eye anymore. While I have seen some content that discourages peo...

Review: Jesus Ate Carbs

It can be easy to think that we just need the right ingredients, meals, and diet plans that will suddenly transform our bodies. However, Jesus Ate Carbs by Abbie Frye probes deeper beyond a physical transformation to a spiritual one that invites God into every aspect of our lives. Obviously not limited to carbs (and acknowledging that allergies exist), this book is one that makes us probe a little deeper about why we eat, what needing to eat says about our relationship with our Creator, and how we can eat in alignment with His original design for it. Many thanks to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of : heavy reliance on Ruth Haley Barton; theology around sentence of “God reveres us and is in awe of us ” (pg. 130); contemplative spirituality practices; direct messages from God to the author, such as “God told me that He has me in the ministry of reconciliation” (pg. 180)...
