Publisher's Description
There is a universal human need to understand our identity and find belonging and sacred purpose in the most daily moments of our lives. When we know our identity as the beloved of God, our lives take on practices that are urgently needed in our divisive culture today, starting with compassion, hospitality, and discourse, and joining a movement to boldly proclaim Abba's love. Sacred purpose involves everything we do on holy ground, which is where God walks with us, before us, and alongside us--in time and place. As we enter the fray, we find ways to live as people of justice, grace, and conviction, seeking the kingdom of God as our priority as we address those issues that are so charged and divisive today: race, inclusion/exclusion, individualism, and trauma. Within the image of an ecosystem, we understand that--Scripture (the living word) points us to Jesus (the incarnate word), who calls us to sacred purpose (a living relationship of following Jesus), at our own altars in the world, for all of our lives.

“The presence of God in our ordinary moments has an enduring quality of purpose as we reflect this gift into the world. Keith affirms, in a relatable context, this genuine understanding of vocation, that where we stand is holy ground; it is filled with the community of God, and we are included, carried, and equipped in that space. It is our invitation to respond. Thank you, Keith, for this beautiful revelation!”
“On Holy Ground is a much-needed salve for a world searching for meaning and purpose. Keith shares a compelling and thought-provoking framework to integrate God’s story with our story, calling us to a fuller and deeper understanding of who we are created to be. This book is a must-read for anyone searching for answers to some of life’s most important questions: ‘Who am I, how am I uniquely gifted, and who am I created and called by God to be?’”
“Keith Anderson’s invitation to consider and embrace vocation is timely as we seek to make sense of our adult lives in this disorienting post-pandemic world. His storytelling, woven with his wise guidance, draws us in to discover our hunger for connection, belonging, identity, and purpose, opening us to the wonderful possibility of encountering Jesus and his companioning way with us. On Holy Ground provides us with much-needed wisdom and companionship on the journey.”
“We probably don’t need another book that helps us find a godly career, but we definitely need help exploring the way of life God is calling us to. In this book, Keith Anderson shares the wisdom of a lifetime helping young and old (including me) discover what the way of Jesus looks like in every area of their lives. I hope you join the conversation with him.”
