Everyday Faithfulness: The Beauty of Ordinary Perseverance in a Demanding World
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
What does Christian faithfulness look like when life feels unpredictable, hard, or just plain ordinary? We want to follow Jesus, but it’s easy to become more focused on our present situation than on a long view of faithfulness. Working through the unique challenges that come with seasons of waiting, caretaking, suffering, worry, spiritual dryness, and more, Everyday Faithfulness delves into practical ways to build habits into everyday life that will aid in spiritual growth throughout a lifetime.

Every Christian wants to be faithful. Unfortunately, many of us are really more concerned with the results of faithfulness than with the ordinary plodding and perseverance of daily faithfulness itself. Glenna Marshall writes to encourage us in the midst of this everyday perseverance. Her writing is a blend of humble transparency and biblical insight, all written in the voice of a trusted friend. I’m so thankful for her and for Everyday Faithfulness. What a gift to the church!
--Jaquelle Crowe Ferris, Founder and COO, The Young Writer; author, This Changes Everything
When it comes to spiritual growth, we’re often hoping for big changes to happen overnight. While we may long for a fast sprint toward holiness, Glenna Marshall reminds us that spiritual growth usually consists of ordinary moments of everyday faithfulness. Everyday Faithfulness is a needed and encouraging book that points us to the joy of walking with God one day at a time, one step at a time.
