SACRED PLACE GUIDEBOOK | VOLUME 3

This third volume of The Guidebook is a companion for the thresholds of ordinary life — a collection of Prayers, Practices, and Places that help us pay attention to the people, responsibilities, and landscapes that form us. Styled like a travel guide, it invites us to move through our neighborhoods with greater love and intention, discovering that even the most familiar places can become sites of care, connection, and wonder.

Inside, you’ll find prayers for mothers and fathers, work and rest, joy and temptation, remembrance and gratitude. You’ll find practices for showing up in your neighborhood, calling your mother, biking your city, listening more closely, gathering around a table, and taking small but meaningful responsibility for the places you live. You’ll also be invited into places both public and personal — from theatres, breweries, fire stations, and city council chambers to kitchens, dining room tables, and the quiet spaces where love is practiced close to home.

Volume 3 is about formation in the real world: in winter and celebration, in leadership and service, in civic life and daily life. It is a guide to becoming more rooted, more attentive, and more present to the sacredness woven through the places we pass every day.
