I am not going to review this book here because I already reviewed it in America Magazine which you can find in the link at the end of this post. However I see that An Altar in the World is now out in a paperback version. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for some good thoughtful Lenten reading. Barbara Brown Taylor has just been named on of the top ten most influential pastors in America. Her writing style is elegant which shows in her work. Her main thesis is that we need to do a better job of identifying God's work in the world, in humanity, and in nature. If you want a book that is a delight to the mind and heart you won't be sorry with An Altar in the World.
