Great book. I lead a weekly bible study group and this book has been very helpful for me to understand the upcoming readings. The book combines a through analysis of the readings coupled with pastorial issues.

This book is a great help for anyone who regularly prepares homilies. It povides commentary on the three readings for Sunday Mass and is invaluable for creating an interesting and Spirit filled homily. Every priest and Deacon should buy this book.

This review is from: Footprints on the Mountain: Preaching and Teaching the Sunday Readings (Paperback)
Our priest recently mentioned several reference works that provide good "sparks" for one's own pondering on Scripture. Writing by Roland Faley was among them, although no specific title was mentioned.I took a chance and got Footprints on the Mountain: Preaching and Teaching the Sunday Readings. Holy Moly, people, this is solid gold! Why haven't I come across this before? Probably because the few reviewers and blurbs mention what a great resource it is for homilists, liturgists, teachers, and catechumenal directors (yawn). True enough this book does provide scriptural background on all the readings for each Sunday (nicely divided up into A, B, and C years), as well as at least eight ideas for directions one's own teachings might take. However, that background also discusses why they complement each other and specific insights to be found for each. Plus, this is summed up in a brief but pithy reflection on what these readings and points mean to believers. In essence, it is like the perfect Bible study guide. I find it extremely inspiring and had to refrain from sitting down and just reading it through like a novel. Toward that end, however, I have ordered Faley's Reflections on the Weekday Lectionary Readings so I can get some of this goodness every day. This covers the A and B year readings. I will be using this throughout the year in personal preparation for Sunday Mass.
