About the Book

Do interruptions ever annoy you? Do errands and menial tasks cause impatience, as you rush through them, wanting to get to the "really important work"? Isn't it true that some activities are more godly and spiritual then others?

In this book, Connie Befus insists that all the small and mundane aspects of our lives are just as sacred as the "big" and supposedly more spiritual ones. She shares her spiritual journey of discovering that every common deed can be an act of worship, and shows how God hides in the menial and commonplace, waiting for us to acknowledge his presence and live "the sacrament of the present moment" in his strength and serenity.

"There is no merely trivial pursuit", Connie Befus asserts. "All of life is to be holy. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun!". Then she describes, with warmth and candor, the spiritual metaphors and personal experiences that have opened the door for her into a new awareness of God's presence and work in the details of life. Learn along with her how to align yourself with his mighty flow, pray without stopping, recognize his fingerprints in everyday dust, and take "Mary's mind" into "Martha's work".
