On the Nightstand: Finding God in Ordinary Time

I’ve always had a thing for Ordinary Time–in theory. For Catholics, it’s the time outside the major liturgical seasons such as Lent, Easter, Advent, and so on, the the time when weeks are numbered (ordinal). It would seem that outside of those busy seasons, there’s more time for God. Except, of course, there’s always an excuse for not making that happen, right? That’s why I’m really excited about my study plan for September, Christine Eberle‘s Finding God in Ordinary Time. I found out about Christine from a friend who heard her speak earlier this year, and as a result we’ve had some delightful email exchanges. In addition to reading her book, I’m looking forward to meeting Christine in person next month at the Future with Hope Women’s conference.
