In The Circle of Seasons: Meeting God in the Church Year, I show how paying attention to the circling of the liturgical seasons can deepen our faith.
Through reflections on my experience, I encourage Christians to embrace the church year, exploring the ways it shapes our unfolding life with Christ. As I invite you to participate in the rhythms of its seasons—from the reflective preparation of Advent and Lent to the joyful celebrations of Christmas and Easter to the often lulling dailiness of Ordinary Time—I’ll show you how these seasons ground our life with Christ in time, in Scripture, and in community.
At its core, the church year is simply another way that God reaches into our lives to draw us to His heart of love. The Circle of Seasons will point you to an awareness of divine presence in all the seasons of our lives: as we live out the church year, it lures our gaze back to God, reminding us that God is lovingly with us moment by moment, season by season, year after year, always.

I am a reader (I feel about books the way some people feel about chocolate: yum), a writer (I've written a book, even: The Circle of Seasons: Meeting God in the Church Year), and a mother (of four). So that's what I blog about: reading, writing, and raising my kids.
