Discover the ancient rhythms that have guided Christian communities for centuries with Our Church Year, a beautifully illustrated devotional that invites you into the rich tapestry of the liturgical calendar.

Twenty-first-century Christians hunger for deeper roots and healthier rhythms of life—to feel connected to the community, practices, prayers, and stories of ancestors in the faith. The liturgical calendar is an ancient tool for that connection, grounding us in the story of Scripture, the history of the church, and the community of believers around the world.

Our Church Year brings the liturgical calendar to life as a beautifully illustrated devotional, guiding readers through the major seasons and holy days of the Christian calendar from Advent through Ordinary Time.

Created by the authors of Our Church Speaks, Ben Lansing and D. J. Marotta, this unique devotional helps followers of Jesus live into our shared Christian story. The entries cover key feast days commemorating biblical saints such as Peter and Mary, and events such as the annunciation and the transfiguration, as well as holy days such as Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Trinity Sunday, and All Saints’ Day.

Each of the fifty entries features

• Full-color artwork and historical narrative by Ben Lansing, bringing each day to life;
• A Scripture passage and devotional meditation by D. J. Marotta, inviting readers into deeper discipleship; and
• A collect (a short, historic prayer) and hymn selection inviting deeper spiritual engagement.

This book offers modern believers a pathway to deeper spiritual roots through the sacred seasons that have shaped Christian worship for generations. Whether you’re already following the church calendar or just beginning to explore liturgical traditions, this devotional provides a welcoming introduction to the saints, seasons, and sacred moments that have sustained Christian communities including Baptist, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, and beyond.
