Book Cover & Preview Text
"Then it was that I had this idea about ordinary fragments. What if I were to pull from my memory some of those fragments, locating them in order to look at them, focus in meditation on what they mean or could mean to me as I continue on my life journey. If I put them front and center in my mind on a daily basis, pondering their value to me in the here and now, would I then be able to move them from the cluttered places of myself and find new ways to move forward on my life journey?"

About the Book
Through fourteen weeks of daily devotionals, she guides us to understand that God is in the ordinary.
The simplicity of the everydayness of living can serve as pathways to God. Life-changing moments are rare. The everyday is where humanity lives. In looking at a variety of fragments, a new and different understanding of the value of the very ordinary may emerge in the God relationship and thus change the individual journey.
“Audrey Brown Lightbody is, by nature, a true weaver! Her book is a woven tapestry of vignettes, reflections, poetry, and evocative questions … a unique presentation of guided meditations which invite us to discover what of The Holy may be close beneath the surface of the ‘ordinary’ of our lives. A book to be kept near at hand, these readings will prompt fresh insights and inspiration over many occasions. For group reflection, as well as individual prayer, Ordinary Fragments is a rich and deeply engaging resource.”
