". . . an excellent parish study—for Lent or Advent—usefully introducing laity to some of the more important issues and technical terms in any liturgical revision." —Bryan D. Spinks, Anaphora

“With disarming honesty and self-deprecating humor, but also with informed and quiet intelligence, Kevin Moroney clearly presents the basics needed by anyone who cares about revision of common prayer in the Episcopal Church. He transparently presents the actual current state of that revision, encouraging wide participation in further work. This is a wonderful and engaging book.” —Gordon W. Lathrop, author of Saving Images: The Presence of the Bible in Christian Liturgy

“Kevin Moroney does the unexpected: he ties real-life experiences of joy, loss, grief, and resurrection to a compelling vision of the leitourgia of the Episcopal Church. It’s not often that a liturgical theology will make you laugh, cry, and stay interested all the way until the end, but this book practically glows with theological depth and life wisdom. What a gift to the church—and the world!” —April Stace, author of White Knuckle Love
