Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a stay-at-home-mom I have struggled so much with the idea that my life should be more radical as a Christian or that I would feel more satisfied if I were out doing something for Jesus rather than folding my 12th load of laundry this week. Something about the way this author talks about a day in her own, ordinary life caught my attention and caused me to think in a new way about how the mundane becomes important with God. This book challenges the idea that following Christ must only be bold and dramatic and has reminded me that God breathes life into my ordinary. I find myself thinking about it as I wash dishes or look for lost shoes, wondering how God might be present and at work even now. Warren's writing is accessible for anyone and is certainly not written just for moms - it just happened to hit me in this season. Funny at just the right moments, Liturgy of the Ordinary provides plenty of food-for-thought even for the experienced theologian. (In fact, the foreword is written by Andy Crouch which tells you this book isn't fluff!) My copy is underlined and highlighted to return to again and again. I'll be buying copies for friends this Christmas.
