EVERY MOMENT HOLY, VOLUME 1 by Douglas McKelvey is a book of liturgies for the ordinary events of daily life--liturgies such as "A Liturgy for Feasting with Friends" or "A Liturgy for Laundering" or "A Liturgy for the First Hearthfire of the Season." These are ways of reminding us that our lives are shot through with sacred purpose even when, especially when, we are too busy or too caught up in our busyness to notice.

Neil Gray It's an odd series of books that you really have to sit with to gain an appreciation for how they will serve you.
My first plan for the Every Moment Holy books was to use them as Calls to Worship, or in corporate prayer settings - perhaps even as liturgies for funerals or other events as the themes dictated, but the more I sat with the musings the more I found they were just as - perhaps even more so - useful as devotions for myself.
I have spent many hours perusing the contents of all three volumes of these books, and they are so beautifully presented I find that just sitting with the books brings about a comfort and a peacefulness. The layout of the writings is so well done and the physical quality of the books really makes it feel as though you're entering into something sacred and Holy whenever you open them.
Whether these books fulfil the desired purpose of a resource, or take on a completely different purpose in your spiritual life, I am convinced they are not at all a frivolous or wasteful purchase. They will find a place. You just have to spend time with them, and they will give you something of value - of this I am certain.
