About this item
In the midst of beauty and mess, chaos and monotony, celebrations and mourning, Jerusalem Greer tells her story of finding redemption in what is rather than what could be, by practicing the presence of God through rediscovering ancient contemplative teachings and practices (solitude, study, work, prayer, and service) and pairing them with domestic arts (baking, gardening, sewing) . Jerusalem writes with a raw honesty that reassures readers they are not alone in feeling not good enough, not wise enough, not Christian enough to figure out God's plans. Jerusalem is active on Facebook and Pinterest and regularly posts on her blog 'Slow Living in a Fast World' where she records what she calls her "beautymess" attempts at living a sacramental life.
About the Author
Jerusalem Jackson Greer's writing has been called "beautiful," by Ree Drummond (aka The Pioneer Woman,) incarnational by Sarah Bessey, and that of an "honest friend" by Shauna Niequist.
In addition to being a writer, Jerusalem is also a minister and speaker. She lives with her husband and two sons in Arkansas, along with their pet pig and a host of chickens. As a family they are attempting to live a slower version of the modern life. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. She writes about all of this and more at jerusalemgreer.com.
