Reviews for Much Fine Gold: The Revised Common Lectionary

"""Samuel Torvend asked a question that I've been mulling over since I heard it in 2009: 'How do we live in the world the things that we rehearse in worship?' Little Books on Liturgy is a scripturally and theologically grounded series that guides the reader to engage and answer the question through the lens of the Anglican liturgical and lectionary traditions."" -The Rt. Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis ""The Little Books on Liturgy series is a gift to the church that will inspire parish conversations, liturgy planners, and individual study. These are great resources that deserve wide circulation and broad engagement."" -The Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, author, Celebrating Liturgical Time ""Gail Ramshaw provides a text that will be as appealing to church insiders as it will be to those who are beginners in congregational life. . . . A perfect addition to group formation and personal reflection, and a fantastic resource for preachers and liturgists."" -The Rev. Dr. Paul Fromberg, author, The Art of Disruption"
