Tish Harrison Warren

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 author Tish Harrison Warren does in a day—making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys—and relates it to spiritual practice as well as to our Sunday worship.

Sacred Practices in Everyday Life

Liturgy of the Ordinary

Practical theology at its finest! Relatable, deep, helpful, practical and drawing on the riches of historic liturgy and theology. Serves as an introduction to Christian living and a good chunk of Christian theology. A book that is truly for every Christian. I want to buy a container of these books and give them away.

I love what this book represents, and my interest levels were high going into it. I love how Warren was creative in splitting the chapters up into parts of the day, and experiences that the regular human will find themselves in day by day. However, maybe it's because I've been exploring 'faith in the mundane' over the last few years or so (and have therefore dived deeper than I thought down the rabbit hole), but I found that this book failed to expand the conversation into any meaningful area. I don't know if it was the overly-domesticated Texan Mom examples, or the (at times) unnecessary length of the chapters, but it didn't feel succinct. It's definitely 2.5 stars for me but I rounded down, rather than up, for the reasons above.

A lovely little book. It's a thinly veiled Anglican polemic for more liturgy in evangelical churches.

Often when we think about our spiritual disciplines, we think about the big things: prayer, baptism, worship on Sundays. But we are called to live these practices every day in everything we do. And viewing these practices as liturgy really helps to bring these practices and beliefs to life.
