“This is the most completely beautiful book in religion that I have read in a very long time. Gentle, humbly crafted, lyrical, and deeply wise.” — Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence “Taylor, as thinker and stylist, ranks with the best. . . . This book is not a page-turner.

I wore out a highlighter marking passages I want to read again.” — Dallas Morning News Barbara Brown Taylor, acclaimed author of Leaving Church, continues her spiritual journey in An Altar in the World. With the honesty of Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) and the spiritual depth of Anne Lamott (Grace, Eventually), Taylor reveals how to encounter the sacred as a natural part of everyday life.
