Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix-the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”-eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 20th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

But there is also a larger and even more compelling reason toĬonsider this work. Provoking the reader to reflect on their own ordinary and perhaps peculiar daily practicesĪs integral to their ongoing spiritual formation. Not to worry Liturgy of the Ordinary bears up under such praise, inspiring and When one actually gets around to reading a book bearing such lofty praise, it can easilyĭisappoint. “Tish gets it,” says Todd Hunter, and “if you let her be your guide, you too will get it: a life in God in your everyday life.” Smith suggests that this “little book has the slant of light” that illuminates the difference between drudgery and epiphany. Warren has “beautifully ‘enfleshed’ the concepts and doctrines of our faith into quotidian moments,” offers Katelyn Beaty, and in the foreword Andy Crouch says Warren has done so “with the writer’s (and indeed the poet’s) gift of slowing down and paying attention.” James K.

Who wouldn’t be interested in a classic man-versus-nature story of a man-eating tiger? There is a certain primitiveness to this idea. I planned on reading the book while listening to shows, and it only took me over 3 years to actually get to it. But, more than most of the other titles that year, this one caught my interest. As such, this title got a rough ride on the show. It was the only book that didn’t have a Canadian connection, other than the author’s nationality, and it was the only history narrative, while the other four were all memoirs. I remember thinking then that The Tiger by John Vaillant stuck out a bit from the others. The 2012 edition of Canada Reads switched gears a bit and focused on non-fiction titles for the first time.
