       Named to the 2007 'Top 10 Spiritual Summer Reading List' by the Detroit Free Press

Explore the place where clean and holy meet---and chart a new course toward discovering sanctity.

'I've always sought solace in cleaning.... As my husband and I packed up our apartment and cleaned the profound dust of the Twin Towers from our books and pillows, we used this shared ritual as an opportunity to reflect and heal. As my neighbor once said, 'Cleaning house is my church.''
-from the Introduction

Be they our kitchens after a meal or our communities after a crisis, we all face the times---and opportunities---when we must clean up. Through a beautiful, diverse and eclectic array of personal narratives, fiction, sacred texts and verse, this inspiring book offers new perspectives on the unique ways we can reach out for the Divine within the simple acts of washing the dishes, doing the laundry, making a home and more. Giving the process of cleaning house depth and resonance, these writings will speak to your heart and allow you to see beyond the task at hand and into a greater undertaking---to realize the sacred in all that we do.

From sweeping the home, to organizing the office, to cleaning up the more daunting 'Big Messes' in our communities, this engaging book touches upon every facet of our lives.
