Liturgy of the Ordinary

Sacred Practices in Everyday Life

By: Tish Harrison Warren

Narrated by: Sarah Zimmerman

In the overlooked moments and routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one ordinary day, this book explores daily life through the lens of liturgy, small practices, and habits that form us. Each chapter looks at something - making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys - that the author does every day. Drawing from the diversity of her life as a campus minister, Anglican priest, friend, wife, and mother, Tish Harrison Warren opens up a practical theology of the everyday. Each activity is related to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday worship. Come and discover the holiness of your every day.

Refreshing Change of Pace

Sarah brings to light how walking with Jesus doesn't always involve heroic moments. Life is not a movie and it's possible, albeit necessary, to serve God in every part of our ordinary day.

Learn more from this, then from any pastor who has ever driven a tank on stage

Not deconstructionist, but definitely not the prosperity gospel. Finally a book for people who just want to live their day to day life

Refreshing!

I did not grow up with a life of liturgy — that aspect was left out of my baptist upbringing — but this book speaks to my heart in such powerful ways! What a gift it is to view the daily tasks of motherhood as a life of liturgy and worship.

The narrator’s great job enhances the contents

...and gives my mind’s eye a mental image of the author as being a person I can relate to. I really enjoyed this narrator.

The book itself is an awesome way of pointing me toward being mindful, the specialness, the sacredness of the everyday things and how these ordinary things are reminders of God’s love and heart toward His believers.

A must read!

This is an absolutely love little book! It’s a short listen and the author’s writing style is warm as well as educational. The narrator does a fabulous job and has a great voice as well.
