5.0 out of 5 stars Discovering the Christian Year, December 25, 2007

This review is from: The New Handbook of the Christian Year: Based on the Revised Common Lectionary (Paperback)

This handbook is a good guide for Protestant ministers who have either not been introduced to, or have not understood, the Church calendar year. If you are looking for something different in worship, worship with a point, then this book will help you. It deals with all of the Church seasons in a way that is easily understandable. For some of us, we have not discovered the riches that can be found in following the Church year during worship.
