"This gorgeous, transformative, welcoming book is for anyone who longs to feel more present, more alive, more joyful and aware of the holiness of daily life." -- Anne Lamott, author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow "There is no one I trust and enjoy more than Mirabai Starr when it comes to demystifying the mystical and helping us all find God tucked away in the ordinary moments of our everyday lives. In Ordinary Mysticism , Mirabai lovingly ropes the lofty and gently pulls it down to earth for us to easily embrace in our ordinary - and miraculous - lives." -- Pete Holmes, comedian, author of Comedy Sex God , and host of You Made it Weird "In this beautiful and generous book, Starr invites us to see our own lives - right now! warts and all! - as transcendent and mystical. She allows us to see our everyday life as holy work and suddenly, it is so." -- Amy Brenneman, actor, producer, and activist
