Every Moment, Everywhere: Australian faith stories to fill up your soul

by Naomi Reed

What is God doing in Australia today?

'Every Moment, Everywhere' by Naomi Reed takes us on a remarkable journey through the heart of Australia, told through compelling faith stories that span the breadth of the country. From the vibrant voices of twenty-year-olds to the seasoned wisdom of ninety-year-olds, each story reveals a God who meets us exactly where we are, offering forgiveness and boundless hope through Jesus Christ.

Naomi Reed, after four years of interviewing 300 individuals about their faith journeys for her much-loved 'Eternity' column, has woven their insights into this rich tapestry of stories. Each story reflects the divine thread running through our lives, reminding us that God is ever-present, alive and actively at work in every moment, everywhere.

Whether you're seeking encouragement or a deeper connection with God, this book serves as a testament to his unending love and the extraordinary ways he draws people to himself in Christ.

About the author

Naomi Reed is a Christian writer and speaker who grew up in Sydney and studied physiotherapy with her husband Darren. After working at Sydney hospitals, they spent six years serving in Nepal with the International Nepal Fellowship. During this time, Naomi worked at Green Pastures Leprosy Hospital and enjoyed fellowship at their local Nepali church. She also home-schooled their three sons and struggled through seven monsoons. At one point, fearing she may not make it through another 120 days of rain, she began to write. The months of typing by candlelight helped her to see God’s purposes through different seasons and (somewhat surprisingly) became her first book, ‘My Seventh Monsoon’. Back in Australia, ‘My Seventh Monsoon’ was warmly received and Naomi continued writing – firstly the sequel, ‘No Ordinary View’ (which won the ACBOY award, 2009) and ’Over My Shoulder’ – a look at the impact of personality on cross-cultural mission.

Reviews

[Helen Pogson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very inspiring book, full of faith stories from ordinary Australians of all ages. Love the Bible verses which each of them love and relate to, and also the prayers Naomi responds with, for the reader to share. Lovely book.

[Suellen Milham · Rating 3 out of 5]

What a blessing to read so many diverse testimonies to the work of God in bringing them to himself! I was encouraged and challenged by them but I did skin read some of the recaps that followed each story.

[Siobhan Beavis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Encouraging accounts of a diverse range of people and their encounters with God. Weaved together through an understanding of God's power, love and creativity. A great book for anyone who wants to be reminded of how God is at work today.
