Life is one big messy journey. Highest highs. Lowest lows. Mental agony. Profound joy. But lots and lots of just plain ordinary.
One woman decided to document 2020. Little did this wife, mother, grandmother, athlete, and adventurer know what the year would bring. But on January 1, she committed to writing a story of each day’s events. Personal and sometimes painfully transparent, Rebekah wrote about real life. Not made-up stories, not 2020 best sellers list fiction and nonficiton. Not even a critique of 2020 award winning books—though she reads a lot. But the real stuff that real people face every day.
The EveryDay provides 366 stories of her life and others written in 366 consecutive days. These incidents reflect real life stories in a novel way, not made-up, how-we-wish-it-to-be life. The stories chronicle everyday people doing everyday things in their everyday lives. Granted, not all the stories are pretty, some revealing deep-down pain and shortfall. But on the other hand, there are plenty of daily narratives that uplift and encourage, written from the depths of a happy and contented heart.
Join author Rebekah Trittipoe on her year-long journey to highlight God’s truth evidenced in normal, ordinary, run-of-the-mill living. With every page turn, you will discover how the stories reveal a purposeful intention to evaluate the day’s happenings in the light of Truth. Each entry is devotional without being artificially lofty and pretentious, the everyday stories always circling back to foundational Scriptural principles.
Come. Share this journey. Discover truth in The EveryDay.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning alongside the authors year. Seeing how God patiently brought to mind the areas the author needed to work through was an encouragement to know that God will do the same for me. Being reminded how frequently we plod through our days, not conscious of how our words and attitudes affect those around us was oh-so-necessary for my heart to hear. Thank you Ms. Trittipoe. Thank you for being vulnerable to expose your heart and thank you for taking the time to document it so others can learn alongside you. You truly are living out being a servant of Christ.
Trittipoe’s writing style made it feel as though she and I were friends chatting over coffee and learning together. It was personal, straightforward, and relatable. If you want to be encouraged, challenged, and motivated by a “friend” to see God in the everyday and to truly make the most of your days read this book!

I am half way through and have absolutely loved reading the short stories each day. Her writing style is fun, lighthearted but draws you in and makes you feel like she’s speaking just to you. She shares about her life experiences and the ways that God has worked in her life, but each story leaves you making a parallel to a lesson in your own life. Highly recommend!!

I was taken on a year long journey through the ups and downs of everyday life and exciting adventures along the way. Rebekah writes in such a way to help the reader become inspired to take note of his/her own daily moments and see the gifts and lessons that can be learned. I will definitely be on the lookout for the next book from this author!

These stories make me laugh, want to get outside, and consider the amount of wisdom to be found in the day to day happenings. The author’s writing is personable, and I feel like I have gotten to know her and her family throughout the year. And I’ve also been inspired to write more often moments that happen in my day to be able to look back on God’s faithfulness.
