Cultivate a faith shaped by Christ’s presence in every season with this unique blend of devotional reflections, guided by Claude Atcho, a seasoned pastor.

“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.”—Jessica Hooten Wilson, Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University and author of The Scandal of Holiness

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.

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

Rhythms of Faith: A Devotional Pilgrimage Through the Church Year is a simple, accessible introduction for those unfamiliar with the church calendar, and a deep well for those seeking to go further.

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! Claude Atcho saves us from giving our time to Caesar, returning it rightfully to Christ. 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.”—Jessica Hooten Wilson, Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University and author of several books, including The Scandal of Holiness

“We all need a sense of time. Let this book be your guide.”—Justin Whitmel Earley, business lawyer and author of Habits of the Household and The Body Teaches the Soul

“Claude Atcho is an eloquent, excellent guide to the Christianity of the church year. This wise, well-crafted, and generous book is the best answer I have seen to the ever-relevant question: ‘How do I start practicing time in a Christian way?’ Here is an artful, accessible resource the church has badly needed for many years. I thank God for Rhythms of Faith.”—S.D. Smith, author of The Green Ember series

“Claude Atcho’s Rhythms of Faith pastorally guides readers toward the roots of the liturgy: the words and acts of Jesus. This book is a wise, accessible invitation to marking time by the evergreen movement of God in our lives, instead of by achievement, consumption, or even the weather. A rich resource for both those unfamiliar with the liturgical year and those wishing to deepen their practice of holy timekeeping.”—Dr. Grace Hamman, author of Ask of Old Paths: Medieval Virtues and Vices for a Whole and Holy Life
Claude Atcho is a priest in the Anglican Church of North America and serves as the pastor of Church of the Resurrection in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the award-winning author of Reading Black Books: How African American Literature Can Make Our Faith More Whole and Just, and his writing has been featured in Christianity Today, Think Christian, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective.
