Liturgy of the Ordinary
Tish Harrison Warren's Liturgy of the Ordinary begins with a simple but disorienting claim: the most important spiritual formation in your life is not happening at a conference, a retreat, or even in Sunday's sermon — it is happening right now, in the small, repeated, almost invisible acts of your daily life. Framed around a single ordinary day, each chapter takes something Warren actually does — waking up, making the bed, losing her keys, eating leftovers, checking her phone — and traces the deep theological and liturgical currents running underneath it. Drawing on the Anglican tradition, thinkers like James K. A. Smith and Alexander Schmemann, and the rhythms of Christian corporate worship, Warren argues that our habits and daily rituals are quietly but powerfully shaping who we are and what we love. The ordinary is not the waiting room for real spiritual life; it is spiritual life.
View Discussion GuidePrayer in the Night
Prayer in the Night by Tish Harrison Warren is a book born in darkness — both the literal darkness of night and the interior darkness of doubt, grief, and uncertainty. Using the ancient Christian night prayer known as Compline as her guide, Warren moves phrase by phrase through this liturgy, exploring what it means to trust God when life feels fragile, out of control, and shadowed by loss. Drawing on her own experiences of miscarriage, a terrifying medical diagnosis, a season of vocational upheaval, and the ordinary vulnerabilities of being human, Warren argues that Christian faith is not primarily about certainty or spiritual achievement — it is about learning to rest in God's care even when we cannot see or feel that care. The book is simultaneously a work of theology, memoir, and spiritual formation, and it offers a rare honesty about the hard places where faith actually lives.
