Reviews
To live in the vision that Warren is offering–to find sacredness in the everyday practices of life–will require that we engage with these and other institutional realities in our midst. The small stuff, the daily habits–yes. And we must allow these small, daily habits to help us reimagine some of the big stuff–otherwise it will just be small enclaves of quotidian mysterylovers within the larger structures that inhibit us from receiving the gift of the ordinary from God’s hand and being shaped to seek the good of others in this world., Warren’s message flies in the face of our culture’s love of distraction and pursuit of extreme sensation. We would do well to slow down for a bit and hear her out. . . . Liturgy of the Ordinary isn’t the first book written in praise of prosaic moments, and Warren’s isn’t the first voice to counsel slowing down. But Warren admirably explores these themes from both a theological and practical perspective. Her words can help us grasp what my grandfather learned through a lifetime of commonsense faith–and a lot of sweeping: The ‘new life into which we’re being baptized is lived out in days, hours, and minutes. God is forming us into a new people. And the place of that formation is in the small moments of today.’, From the photograph of a peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich on the cover, Tish Harrison Warren’s debut work, Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life, signals that it’s rooted in the quotidian, the humble humdrum of day-after-day existence. This is spiritual guidance for the bed-maker, the teeth-brusher, the traffic-snarled among us. This is one ordinary day turned inside out, its hallowed script revealed, liturgical underpinnings exposed. . . . She beautifully ties making the bed to the Creation story, to God’s making beauty from chaos. . . . It’s the nitty-gritty of daily work where Warren illuminates holiness. She writes of ‘tiny theophanies,’ church-bell moments, that jolt her–and us, her readers–to sacred attention. The purity of her vision, the clarity of her writing, makes effortless work of the notion that the small acts of our everydays are what shape us into the sacred vessels we are meant to be., Warren’s message flies in the face of our culture’s love of distraction and pursuit of extreme sensation. We would do well to slow down for a bit and hear her out. . . .Liturgy of the Ordinary isn’t the first book written in praise of prosaic moments, and Warren’s isn’t the first voice to counsel slowing down.
