Christianity Today Book of the Year Over 200,000 Copies Sold! Discover the Holiness of Your Everyday What if the overlooked routines of your day became sacred invitations?Liturgy of the Ordinary by Tish Harrison Warren is a gentle reminder that God's presence is not just in the extraordinary but in the midst of the ordinary. Through the lens of her own daily life, Warren invites you to find holiness in the mundane and recognize how seemingly small, daily habits shape your spiritual growth. Framed around one typical day, this book explores life through the lens of liturgy—small practices and habits that form us. In each chapter, Warren considers a common daily experience like making the bed, brushing her teeth, and 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. Key Features:

- Transform the Everyday: Learn simple habits that foster a deeper awareness of the sacred in everyday routines. - Discussion and Reflection: Explore thought-provoking questions and practices designed for personal growth and group engagement. - Connection to Worship: Discover activities that relate both to spiritual practices as well as to an aspect of Sunday worship."Warren shows readers how to turn the mundane and often frustrating aspects of daily life into a reflection on the sacred. Working her way through a typical day—her morning routine, busywork such as checking email, fights with her spouse—Warren seamlessly blends together lived realities with theological reflections. Her writing is lyrical and often humorous, and she has a gift for making theological concepts seem easy to understand and (perhaps most importantly) easy to live. … But she reminds readers that while they 'can get drunk on talk of justification, ecclesiology, pneumatology, Christology, and eschatology... these big ideas are borne out—lived, believed, and enfleshed—in the small moments of our day, in the places, seasons, homes, and communities that compose our lives.'" – Publishers Weekly Starred Review, December 2019
