The idea that daily life is worship is a novel claim. However, it cannot fully encompass the experience of a Christian in the world.
A good guide for those who desire to worship through their lives, rather than being bound by the past, on how daily life becomes worship.
It shows examples of how to practice worship in daily life.
It is a good book needed in times like these. However, since the writing is full of metaphors and the sentences are not very smooth to read, it might be a bit difficult for newcomers or those who do not enjoy reading.
It is interesting. Ordinary daily life feels reverent. I learn that one does not have to sit upright, open the Bible, and pray to be reverent.
The habit of praying before meals trains us in how to be in the world. It reminds us that deciding whether something is grace and wonder is not a matter of personal experience, and that the most amazing gifts are sometimes the easiest to overlook.
The book “Worship Called Today” brings to mind the Disney animation “Alice in Wonderland.” Alice, leading a boring daily life, has a wondrous experience. She sees a white rabbit, wearing a waistcoat like a human, hurrying somewhere with a watch in hand. Driven by curiosity, Alice follows the rabbit into the hole and experiences a mystical adventure. Her previously ordinary daily life speaks to her in a new and mysterious light. Inside, Alice follows the white rabbit, embarking on an unfamiliar
We have 24 hours a day and 168 hours a week. Of these, the time spent at church for worship and cell group meetings each week is around four hours, which accounts for only 2.3% of the week. Conversely, the daily life that Christians sent out into the world must face with their whole being makes up 97.7% of the week. The author uniquely portrays and analyzes the trivial and monotonous daily routines we experience during that 97.7% of the time. A distinctive feature is that the chapters are
It seems like a time when we place great importance on ‘daily life.’ In many fields—books, TV, design, social media, and so on—people emphasize daily life, sharing and teaching how to fill it, and striving to make it a more valuable life. However, it seems that this is not the case in faith. We focus more on and regard the grand history that will unfold in the future rather than our daily lives, and we seem to think that today can be ignored for the sake of that day.

Tish Harrison Warren: The worship called today
Selected as Christianity Today's 2018 Book of the Year! “It is a book that colors our dull daily lives with the hustle and bustle.” _Kim Young-bong, Author of *Prayer of Fellowship* “This small but great book is a special light that illuminates our daily lives—the very field of sanctification where the Holy Spirit makes us holy.” _James Smith, Professor of Philosophy at Calvin College and Author of *Desiring the Kingdom of God* What determines the direction of our lives is not grand ideologies or slogans, but ultimately the habits we unconsciously repeat every day. By changing our daily habits, we can learn how to worship God and live as true Christians throughout our entire lives. The author offers theological insights into how to live as a worshipper amidst the various trivial moments of daily life that seem like meaningless repetition (the moment of waking up, brushing teeth, a morning when you lose your keys, checking email, etc.). Even words that seem special, such as liturgy, worship, rituals, and spiritual disciplines, are ultimately accomplished through ordinary elements and ordinary people. There is no part of our lives that is not holy. We can even worship in the dirtiest and most unpleasant places of our daily lives.
