Ordinary Grace: A Companion for the Recovering Heart

Description

Most of recovery doesn’t happen in dramatic moments. It happens on a Tuesday. In the car on the way to work. Over coffee that’s gone cold. In the years before you pick up the phone to call your ex-wife to apologize for everything.

In this third and final volume of the Grace Series, Ken Craig-Saunders walks with you through all thirty-three weeks of Ordinary Time, the longest, gentlest, and most overlooked season of the Catholic liturgical year. And it’s the season that looks the most like your life.

Ordinary Grace offers 226 daily meditations, one for every day from the Baptism of the Lord through the heart of Christ the King Sunday, each one built around:

• A scripture passage from the season of Ordinary Time
• A Recovery lens connecting the reading to a specific step
• A brief reflection grounded in real recovery experience
• A closing prayer

Where Awaiting Grace explored the hope of Advent and Ashes to Easter traced the surrender of Lent, Ordinary Grace asks: What does recovery look like when the glory fades and all that’s left is the doing? What stays with you after the first year? After the fifth?

The answer, it turns out, is you. You’re right here.
