God Moments Unexpected Encounters in the Ordinary by Andy Otto
I went to a service in Exeter's beautiful cathedral last Easter where I listened to a brilliant service partly about finding God in the moment. It was an extremely cultured presentation, however, and a bit difficult at times. I would like to read it!
This book is a clearer and simpler extension of the subject and not just for Catholics, although it is certainly written from a Catholic perspective and based on St Ignatius's system of prayer. The most important principle of Ignatian spirituality is finding God in all things. helps readers to do that and uses anecdotes to show how this has helped him during his life.
Many suggestions in God Moments involve using steps. For example, Otto lists the way to make an important decision using Ignatian spirituality. He also writes about St Ignatius's famous Examen in detail, explaining all the stages required to complete this each day. I found the firs part of this very helpful - asking God for a grace in the morning. It's certainly a lovely and soothing way to start the day when you remember to do it!
Many religious books are quite heavy and boring, I am sorry to say. This one is well-written, profound and interesting, and I actually enjoyed it!
