“A remarkable and much-needed book. It starts with the basics, and goes on to explore the profound depths of the Church’ s Liturgy – as described in theology and expressed in celebration. Beginners in either liturgical ministry or academic study will find they are well supported here. Those who are already old-hands will find a refresher that will encourage them to ‘up their game’! Pope Francis has recently urged the Church to return to the work of liturgical renewal. This book is a great resource for any community or individual ready to rise to the challenge and enrich their participation in the Liturgy and their ministry of the Gospel.”
