Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life
ralegh avatar reviewed on + 126 more book reviews


A delightful book in which the author, an Anglican priest, demonstrates how to begin to live a more spiritual, a more contemplative life just by finding God in the ordinary routines of a typical day. The stories she tells are excellent demonstrations of her primary point: you don't need to join a monastery or a nunnery to develop a daily focus on God.
God can be found when you're surrounded by crying children, when you and your spouse are fighting, when you're sitting in traffic. "God is near."
