Where I received: Kregel Publishing
Actual Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Do you ever feel like you do the same thing every day? Does life ever feel mundane to you? Do you feel like you just are in going in an endless circle? Do you ever doubt God's plan in your life? Maybe what your ultimate purpose in this life is?
This book is such a blessing for anyone who has had those thoughts. I sometimes feel like my routine is boring, or that I am simply not doing enough. This book taught me to meet God in the humdrum, ordinary moments of every day.
To be honest everyday life can become oh so very boring. Taking care of your family, working, going to school, or even housekeeping can become daunting and seem so overwhelming. Due to how time-consuming cleaning is, you can get depressed and let things slide. We all fall into these traps and loops of existence.
I feel think this would be the perfect book for a mother, who doesn't have a ton of time but still needs encouragement about God's love. I also really think this would be a great book for small groups or a woman's study. The author is brutally honest and has offered such a blessing to her readers. She shares God's word, the biblical objectives and lessons she learned through the Word. This is a story of a journey she took to find God's love, and ultimately find out exactly who she is.

This is a small book at just over 200 pages but feels like it has so many more words. It is jam packed with wonderful verses and life lessons. The perfect book to devour in a day, or savor for weeks at a time.

Goodreads Description:
What if the key to changing your life--and yourself--is already in your hand?
So many women struggle with what to do with their daily lives. They feel trapped in everyday drudgery and disappointment, in dull domestic duties, and in mundane jobs they despise. Where is the abundant, purposeful life they were promised?
Kari Patterson shows readers the truth: in each unremarkable life lies an opportunity to see, know, love, and be utterly transformed by a God who meets everyone right where they are. Instead of stepping away from real life to find God, Patterson equips women with a six-step practice to move further in and meet Him in the humdrum moments of everyday existence. And when a woman's inner being is truly changed by the sacred, everything in her world changes too--right down to tackling the dirty dishes.
Through entertaining narrative, candid real-life stories, Bible study, and practical instruction, Sacred Mundane guides individuals or small groups to discover the beautiful sacredness in the lives they already lead. Women who long to grow in God and make a real difference in the world--no matter how small--will reach eagerly for this book and the radical transformation it offers.
"Our daily routine, with its mundane tasks and mindless repetition, is ultimately an offering of worship to God. What a great truth from a great God!"
--Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller and coauthor of Devotions for the Soul Surfer
