About this audiobook
Small Graces is a journey into the sacred moments that illuminate our everyday lives. In twenty elegant pieces, writer, sculptor, and theologian Kent Nerburn celebrates the daily rituals that reveal our deeper truths. Through the exploration of simple acts, Small Graces reminds us to chart a course each day that nourishes the soul, honors the body, and engages the mind.
Small Graces asks us to observe life's quiet rhythms, the subtle shifts in perception and changes in light, the warm comfort of family voices; to feel the blessing of birdsong, the solitude of a falling leaf, the echo of footfall in snow-covered woods. By inviting us to recognize the hidden power of the ordinary, Small Graces reveals the mystical alchemy of the mundane made profound by the artistry of a well-lived life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is by far the best little book I’ve ever come across. I have cried with tears of joy and gratitude throughout the entire collection of beautifully written, simple yet profound stories. This is what makes us human.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful philosophical chapters that re-unite us with our feelings about the things that are truly important in life. Newborn's books always evoke emotional connection uniting himself, the reader and the subject matter. By reading a selection every morning, I found that the selections set a positive tone for my day, ever reminding me to be mindful of my many every day blessings.
