Synopsis:

Christianity Today Book of the Year

Discover the Holiness of Your Everyday

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 typical day, this book explores life through the lens of liturgy―small practices and habits that form us. In each chapter, Tish Harrison Warren considers a common daily experience―making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys. Drawing from the diversity of her life as a campus minister, Anglican priest, friend, wife, and mother, Warren opens up a practical theology of the everyday.

Liturgy of the Ordinary offers:

• Easy habits to incorporate into your everyday routines
• Discussion questions and practices to jumpstart group discussion and personal reflection, and
• Activities that relate both to spiritual practices as well as to an aspect of Sunday worship.

Come and discover the holiness of your every day.
