In another 'Benedict Option' the author shares about her hunger for a deeper spiritual life, how Benedictine spirituality has shaped her practice, and the ways she has learned to embody Christian spirituality in everyday life. --James Matichuk

Foreword by Shauna Niequist

In the midst of beauty and mess, chaos and monotony, celebrations and mourning, Jerusalem Greer tells her story of finding redemption in what is rather than what could be, by practicing the presence of God through rediscovering ancient contemplative teachings and practices (solitude, study, work, prayer, and service) and pairing them with domestic arts (baking, gardening, sewing). Jerusalem writes with a raw honesty that reassures readers they are not alone in feeling not good enough, not wise enough, not Christian enough to figure out God's plans. Jerusalem is active on Facebook and Pinterest and regularly posts on her blog 'Slow Living in a Fast World' where she records what she calls her "beautymess" attempts at living a sacramental life.


Contributor Bio(s): Greer, Jerusalem Jackson: - In addition to being a writer, Jerusalem is also a crafter, former pastor, and blogger. She is the author of A Homemade Year-The Blessings of Cooking, Crafting, and Coming Together and At Home in this Life. She lives with her husband and two sons in Greenbrier, Arkansas. As a family they are attempting to live a slower version of modern life. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
