Praise for the Little Books on Liturgy series: These little books are 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. I will return to these books often as I continue to live this question in both liturgy and life. -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 of Celebrating Liturgical Time
