In An Altar in the World, New York Times bestselling author Barbara Brown Taylor continues her spiritual journey by building upon where she left off in Leaving Church. With the honesty of Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) and the spiritual depth of Anne Lamott (Grace, Eventually), Taylor shares how she learned to find God beyond the church walls by embracing the sacred as a natural part of everyday life.

An Altar in the World shares:

• Meaningful ways to discover the sacredness within the small things like walking, working, and prayer.
