God in the Everyday
By C. Mark Wade (Choose Commitment Ministries)
In God in the Everyday, C. Mark Wade offers a practical and profound approach to Christian discipleship. Subtitled “A 14-week Guide Toward Hope, Purpose, and Fulfillment,” Wade—a Bible study leader for more than three decades—presents 14 biblically based truths, one per week.
The book follows a simple, easy-to-use format. Each chapter begins with a truth from Scripture, followed by an engaging and down-to-earth examination of it, generally based on Wade’s personal experience. Next, readers are invited to read and reflect on Bible verses related to the truth for the week. A daily study guide follows.
Each daily entry in the study guide begins with an invitation to pray, followed by instruction to read the Scriptures related to the truth for the week. On the second day of each week, readers are asked to select and begin memorizing one of the featured Bible verses. Throughout each week, Wade encourages application by inviting readers to consider probing questions related to the truth of the week. Finally, the author urges participants to share their reflections—ideally in a small-group setting with others who are engaged in the same 14-week process of spiritual formation.
Wade writes from the humble position of a fellow traveler on a spiritual journey, not as one who has arrived at the final destination. Readers who take seriously the invitation to meet “God in the Everyday” almost certainly will—as Wade writes—learn to “love more deeply,” “obey more quickly,” “trust more completely” and “serve more cheerfully.”
