Small Things, Great Love: How Ordinary Days Become a Holy and Fruitful Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243000116)

Small things can feel too small to matter: a hurried apology, a short prayer said while washing plates, the decision to hold your tongue, the choice to begin again after a fall. Yet these are the very places where holiness is formed.

Most of us want to be saints. We do not always want traffic, deadlines, tiredness, and temptation to be part of the curriculum.

In Small Things, Great Love, Yetunde Ope-Faniran offers warm, practical reflections for anyone who desires a holy and fruitful life as they navigate the complexities of everyday life: work, family, distractions, and daily responsibilities. With a gentle blend of encouragement, straight talk, and the occasional smile, this book shows how ordinary days become eternal aims through prayer, the sacraments, sincere self-examination, and steady growth in virtue.

Each chapter is a simple companion for the journey, with clear guidance on interior freedom, truthfulness, gratitude, chastity, temperance, humility, perseverance, and the apostolate of friendship. It is a call to live a Christian life everywhere: at home, at work, at church, and in private.

Holiness is not an escape from life. It is life lived with God.

Open these pages, take the next faithful step, and let God make your little efforts fruitful.
