Jill Crainshaw emphasises in her writings and teachings how Christian worship and leadership arise from and return to the human experience. She aims to focus on the ordinary experiences of our lives and find the extraordinary love of God within them. The book springs from her remembering the times in her life and ministry when she experienced “earth crammed with heaven” and “every bush afire with God.” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning”). She claims that people encounter God as they live, work and play in human communities and therefore Liturgy can be distilled from everyday life as we perceive the sacramental and spiritual dimensions of daily actions, objects, conversations and events. In this book, When I in Awesome Wonder, Jill Crainshaw explores how liturgical worship’s sacramental elements such as bread, wine and water are connected to local fields, farmers, waters and artisans. The book enables us to experience more deeply the profound relationship between our sacred ritual and our daily lives. In this way it has the potential to assist us in living more mindfully and to see more clearly how the ‘stuff’ of our everyday lives is truly holy.
