Ordinary Time The Season of Growth Discover the Beauty and Depth of Ordinary Time Most days in Jesus’ life were ordinary. Most of ours are too. And that’s exactly where the power of Ordinary Time lies. It reminds us that normal is necessary, and routines are for things that matter—things worth repeating. Ordinary Time by Amy Peeler invites Christians to see the beauty and significance in the longest, yet often overlooked, season of the church year.

• explores the history and practice of the season, inviting readers to engage more deeply with its observance, • highlights how Ordinary Time fits within the larger context of the church calendar, and • shows how the rhythms of the season teach us how to live faithfully in both the “normal” moments as well as the highs and lows of life. Whether you’ve long walked in the rhythms of the church year or are just beginning to explore them, Ordinary Time will open your heart to the quiet, steady growth God invites us into every day.

“
Ordinary Time is far from spiritually idle—it is where God does the daily, steady work of transformation. Peeler’s reflections, rooted in Scripture, prayer, and the rhythms of the liturgical calendar, unveil the distinct beauty of this green and growing season.” —PORTER C. TAYLOR, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd and editor of We Give Our Thanks Unto Thee Through her distinctively personal, reverent, and joy-filled voice, Amy Peeler blends story, readings of biblical narratives, and reflections on the church’s liturgy in order to provoke an encounter between the reader and God. This is a book that will bring you to your knees in worship.” —AUBREY E. BUSTER, associate professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and author of Remembering the Story of Israel
