With Gladness: Answering God's Call in Our Everyday Lives

by Christopher H. Martin

How can we love and serve God with gladness and singleness of heart? For more than a decade, Episcopal priest Christopher H. Martin has studied and explored this question. Building upon a renewal movement he founded within the church called The Restoration Project, Martin has crafted a series of gentle practices to help people embrace a new and ancient way of being a Christian in the world, body and soul. This approach invites a focus on daily prayer and weekly worship along with gentle practices—slight shifts in perspective and action that help us to live more fully into God’s call for our everyday lives. Martin turns to scripture, theologians and poets, and experience from fellow faith pilgrims to develop this guide for modern-day disciples seeking to move through their ordinary days with gladness and singleness of heart.

I read this as a 40-day Lent study and loved it so much I did it all over again as soon as I finished. A simple spiritual practice is introduced each week to incorporate into your daily walk. Thoughtful and transformative.

A practical, story-driven invitation that’s perfect for the Lenten season!

Some of the gentle practices will stick with me, but the others, probably not.
