Liturgy of the Ordinary, by Tish Harrison Warren, Hardcover
- Author: Tish Harrison Warren
SKU: 4000667
We can become aware of God's presence in surprising ways through the overlooked moments and routines of our day. How can we learn to embrace the sacred in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the sacred?
Based on one ordinary day, this book examines daily life through the lens of liturgy, small practices, and habits that form us. Each chapter explores something such as making the bed, brushing the teeth, losing keys, which the author is all too familiary with. 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 connected to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday worship.
Come embrace the holiness of your everyday life.
