Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life

by Tish Harrison Warren

when we gaze at the richness of the gospel and the church and find them dull and uninteresting, it’s actually we who have been hollowed out.

The kind of spiritual life and disciplines needed to sustain the Christian life are quiet, repetitive, and ordinary. I often want to skip the boring, daily stuff to get to the thrill of an edgy faith. But it’s in the dailiness of the Christian faith—the making the bed, the doing the dishes, the praying for our enemies, the reading the Bible, the quiet, the small—that God’s transformation takes root and grows.
