The Bossy Bookworm
May 20, 20211 min
Taylor's books exploring faith and life's meaning are delights: she is wise but unassuming, knowledgeable yet open to new experiences, and often funny and self-deprecating.
After leaving her position as a pastor and writing a book, Leaving Church, about the experience, Taylor here explores finding faith, moments of reflection, and meaning in the world around her in An Altar in the World.
Through exploring everyday chores--practices as simple as walking, washing, praying, or bestowing simple blessings--Taylor explores the ways she grounds herself in everyday life while connecting with deeper meaning. I love Taylor's voice and am in for all of her books.

Taylor also wrote the wonderful book Holy Envy, which I read with the same group as I did this book. I loved that book even more than this one because I felt that Taylor's personality came through in it even more fully, and I adore spending time with her. She's wise but unassuming, knowledgeable and open to new experiences, funny and self-deprecating.
