About this audiobook
Shauna Niequist calls us to see the beauty, hope, and dimension in our ordinary days through the life-giving practice of celebration.
Cold Tangerines is beautiful narration of Shauna's journey as a young writer, wife, and mom making peace with herself and crafting a life that celebrates the extraordinary moments hidden in the everyday. Throughout each story echoes the heartbeat message that the normal, daily life ticking by on our streets and sidewalks, at our dinner tables and in our late-night talks--is the most precious thing any of us will ever experience.
With her signature warmth and vulnerable storytelling, Shauna offers a feast of thoughtful reflections on the small moments that make up the human experience, the spiritual life, and things that seem ordinary but just might be sacred after all. She invites us into a new way of living with the awareness of God's movement gracing every part of our day.
Both a voice of challenge and song of comfort, this gallery of celebration encourages us to turn our attention to the marvelous life happening right under our noses. Join Shauna in this heartfelt and hopeful call upward to a new way of being, where there's room to breathe, to rest, to break down, and break through to the best possible life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well..... That changed my life. That was so sweet and sounded like the innermost parts of me, I almost cried through each of the chapters. Much like many of the other books I've read, I've shared this one with all who will listen and am so glad that I came across Shauna.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This slim read is full of moments I can relate to, but the essays do jump around quite a bit. It felt like a collection of unrelated newspaper columns. “When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life.”“When you're (traveling) with someone else, you share each discovery, but when you are alone, you have to carry each experience with you like a secret, something you have to write on your heart, because there's no other way to preserve it.”
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Shauna Niequist's vulnerable writing, and I think this book is a good introduction to looking at life a certain way. Since each chapter focuses on a slightly different topic, I will say there were some I didn't like and some I did, but on the whole most of them were in the 4 or 5 star range. However, while reading this the first time I did get the feeling this book was missing SOMETHING, and having read her second book, Bittersweet, I'd say I'd recommend that book over this one.
