Rhythms of Faith

A Devotional Pilgrimage Through the Church Year

Cultivate a faith shaped by Christ's presence in every season with this unique blend of devotional reflections, guided by seasoned pastor and award-winning author Claude Atcho.

Many of us engage with the church calendar mainly through observing Advent or celebrating Easter, not fully understanding how its seasons year-round can offer us a deeper, more rooted experience.

But what if its rhythms could shape your faith, not just on Sundays, but in your everyday life?

In Rhythms of Faith, award-winning author and pastor Claude Atcho shows you that, more than just marking time, the church calendar invites us to walk with Jesus in a rhythm of remembrance, renewal and formation, helping us see the gospel not only as a message to be heard but as a story to be lived.

Taking you through each season – Advent, Christmastide, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Ordinary Time – this book invites you to slow down, reflect and engage more intentionally with the life of Jesus, cultivating a faith that is formed by church time, anchored in Christ and powerfully transformative.

I want—no, I need— this book by my nightstand, on my dinner table, in my church pew! Walking us through the cycles of light, life, and love, Atcho shows us how to measure our days by Christ so that we might gain wisdom.
