At the Counter: Spiritual Recipes for Faith in Everyday Life
Faith for the ordinary moments. Grace for the weary heart.
Some of the holiest moments happen in ordinary places.
At the kitchen counter.
Over coffee gone lukewarm.
In quiet conversations.
In prayers whispered while washing dishes or carrying burdens no one else can see.
At the Counter: Spiritual Recipes for Faith in Everyday Life is a weekly devotional created for those everyday spaces—where faith and real life meet.
Through stories, reflection, Scripture, recipes, and gentle encouragement, Laura invites readers to slow down, breathe, and rediscover God’s presence in the middle of ordinary life.

A Note from Laura
The heart behind At the Counter began long before the book itself.
It grew out of ordinary moments—coffee conversations, stories shared around tables, and the quiet realization that so many people are carrying more than they let others see.
This book isn’t about having perfect faith.
It’s about making room for grace in everyday life.
**Pull up a chair.
There’s room for you here.**
Whether your faith feels strong, fragile, weary, hopeful—or somewhere in between—you are warmly invited to come sit at the counter.
