Waking: Baptism and learning to be beloved -- Making the bed: liturgy, ritual, and what forms a life -- Brushing teeth: standing, kneeling, bowing, and living in a body -- Losing keys: confession and the truth about ourselves -- Eating leftovers: word, sacrament, and overlooked nourishment -- Fighting with my husband: passing the peace and the everyday work of shalom -- Checking email: blessing and sending -- Sitting in traffic: liturgical time and an unhurried God -- Calling a friend: congregation and community -- Drinking tea: sanctuary and savoring -- Sleeping: sabbath, rest, and the work of God.
Summary: In the overlooked moments and routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one ordinary day, this book explores daily life through the lens of liturgy, small practices, and habits that form us. Each chapter looks at something--making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys--that the author does every day. Drawing from the diversity of her life as a campus minister, Anglican priest, friend, wife, and mother, Tish Harrison Warren opens up a practical theology of the everyday. Each activity is related to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday worship. Come and discover the holiness of your every day. (Publisher).
