I love Paula Gooder's books. she makes deep thoughts so readable.

Paula Gooder’s enthusiasm spills out from every page she writes and this book is no exception. That someone so exceptional recognises the importance of the ordinary, the everyday, is a great encouragement to the rest of us. What she can’t avoid however is that the world we occupy has been so spiritually degraded by human indifference that God’s activity stands out as special almost despite itself. In linking the examples here to ‘ordinary time’ she does give what is the longest season of the Church’s year a shape and purpose which it often seems to lack. Though it all inspires careful reading, for many of us I’m sure it’s the final ‘call to extraordinariness’ and Paula’s ‘glimpsing glory’ sections that will provoke us to the greatest thought and self-examination. As she unpacks Paul’s ‘Now you are the body of Christ’ and our need to carry ‘each other’s weaknesses’, we realise that there are things we know but so often don’t grasp. And as for ‘glory’, Paula edges us towards a recognition that it really can exist for us all. This is a book to be mulled over when the frenzy of festivals is calmed and we can see that broad and glorious sweep of God’s time which may one day be ordinary for us all. Do read this book simply because I’m sure it was written for you.
