Everyday moments become sacred altars where God meets you.
Do you sometimes wish you could hear from God? Do you feel like you are too insignificant for Him to care about your daily battles with loneliness, grief, change, and doubts?
God talks to each of us – from the young husband and father who accidentally torched his home, to the claustrophobic pastor making her way through a historic tunnel in Israel, to the mystery author having a close call with a stink bug.

MY THOUGHTS
Unexpected Altars: Meeting God in Everyday Moments was one of my last reads of 2025. It's written by Oakwood Community Church and is perfect for those looking for a devotion that is packed full of personal stories, some pretty emotional, about how God showed up in the middle of chaos and mundane situations.
One of the best things that I took away from this book, is how to look to how God is speaking to us. Sometimes we get caught up in our chaos and don't hear his calming voice or feel his presence.
This is perfect for those looking for a devotion. I will be keeping this at my bedside to refer back to when I feel God pulling me back to this book. This book is extremely well written and flows nicely.
Thank you to the author, publisher and IRead Book Tours for providing a copy of this book for the purposes of this review, all thoughts are my own.
