GoodBookStall Review:
“Oh no not another liturgy book please”- was my first reaction when I saw the book BUT- this smallish book is filled with useful ideas for a variety of service and liturgical needs. None of them are perhaps as official as some churches want, but even using parts of the liturgies should enable anyone to produce some really original and thoughtful services and quiet times. The author has written a wide range of books on liturgy and has drawn on her immense resourcefulness to produce an original resource. Especially useful, towards the end of the book are service outlines for funerals and thanksgivings – always a difficult area in which to produce meaningful liturgy: also a range of original prayers which help in all those difficult areas that both clergy and laity alike come across.
