From the Publisher

An invitation to live unstuck

Do you feel trapped in daily drudgery and disappointment, bogged down in dull domestic duties or a boring job you can’t stand? Where is the free, abundant, and purposeful life God promises? Do you wish you could take a break from the mundane to seek out the transcendent?

Kari Patterson leads us to see that it’s our ordinary days—filled with tedious tasks and frequent frustrations—that are working for us. When we invite Jesus in and let all things produce spiritual strength in us, we live mysteriously powerful lives of peace and joy.

Truth: you are made new by dipping into the dirty, dusty dailiness of life. By letting your days transform your life.

It is the sacred mundane that makes us new.

Richard Stearns, president World Vision U.S.

“Kari is a powerful example that God will do amazing things in our lives—if we let him. God calls each of us to a bigger, greater life than we ever imagined, but only when we allow our stories to be part of God’s great redemption story. Read this book, and discover how God transformed the lives of one woman and her family when they sought to follow him.”

Chaundel Holladay, Co-author of Love-Powered Parenting

“The temptation to divide their lives into the sacred and the mundane attacks most women every day of their life. Sacred Mundane points out the heresy of this duality and provides hope that.

All of our life can be valued as sacred. Kari is a mom in the trenches who wonderfully weaves together strong theology and daily down-to-earth application in an engaging and enjoyable way.”

Christine Hoover, author of From Good to Grace

“Kari Patterson has a way with words, and oh how we need them! More than ever, voices all around tell us we need to dream big dreams and pursue big pursuits, but in Sacred Mundane, Kari so beautifully reminds us that each of our days, if given their due, are quiet opportunities for a faith-filled life.”

Jamie Martin, author of Steady Days

“Sacred Mundane delivers a message that brings relief to women’s souls—we are favored, loved, and chosen by the God of the universe. And as recipients of such favor, we have the awesome chance to draw closer to Him each and every moment of our days. Kari’s words, full of grace, humor, and practical application, invite us to transform the lenses through which we see the world, through which we see God—through which we see everything.”
