GoodBookStall Review:
A useful resource of readings and poems which can be used to commemorate some of the lesser festivals of the church as well as many ‘saints of the church’ – those significant Christians across two thousand years who have helped to enlarge our knowledge and understanding of Christ. The book takes the reader through the year marking these commemorative days. This companion will be of use to those planning worship or perhaps more specifically for private devotion and reflection. A book which builds a bridge between literature and liturgy and can prompt our own imagination. Passages come from across the ages as well as across the world.
