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.

From the flyleaf: Michael Horten describes it as a “big gift” in a “small package.” “This book will brush the dust from your dingy days,” says Karen Swallow Prior. A lot of people think very highly of this book.
