This is the Main Event

What if the life we long for isn’t elsewhere but rather right here, waiting to be discovered?

Joshua Luke Smith believes the greatest lie facing our generation is that the life we long for lies beyond the life that we have. We so easily learn to disdain the inconveniences, interruptions and messy mundane that infuses our everyday. But the real transformation happens when we look at our life as it is and dare to announce: This is the main event.

With depth, wisdom and storytelling, This Is the Main Event is your invitation to awaken to the sacred in your ordinary life. As Joshua claims, the extraordinary life is simply the one in which we practice presence – to ourselves, to others, to God. Every moment becomes meaningful when you recognise the God who meets you in it – a holy encounter accessed in the everyday.

Whether you’re packing lunches, paying bills, headed to the office, a hospital or a recovery meeting, this is a book to help you receive the greatest gift you already have and to practice your own aliveness in your actual life.
