Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life
What you'll learn
The average day flows in a blur of triviality. Hours shift from this task to the next in an endless list of chores, flinging us into lifestyles that feel limp, lifeless, and lacking. After all, there’s nothing special about cooking a weeknight dinner, taking a walk around the block, or slipping helplessly to sleep, right? But what if the draining items on your daily checklist actually manifested spiritual truths? How might your days, satisfaction, and purpose change as you realize that God moves within the pulse of the common and the small? Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren answers these questions, unraveling the contents of a life into the motions of the liturgy to discover deep revelations in the typical day—an unlikely landing place for the miraculous.
