Oh, i have read this already.

The content is ok, but i did not like the way the book was layed out. There were insets of additional information that interupted the flow of chapters.

After Holidays and Holy nights, this book was redundant on the back ground information.

informative lighthearted medium-paced

I justified purchasing this book because of some research I was doing for a manuscript of my own. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to buy it: it is full of fabulous insight, inspiring ideas, and plenty of catechesis. One of my favorite resources and one that I plan to reference often throughout the year. I feel like I should write the author a thank you.

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

It definitely gave me some ideas,  and I liked her perspectiv  on a sense of ritual and reverence of the Lord being important at home,  not just in church. 
Would be interested in seeing this updated for the church as it stands today,  a lot has changed in the decade and a half since this was written.  Still a good book to get you thinking of things though. 

I read this book to fulfil the goal read a book from a theology veiwpoint you disagree with. this was a hard catagory for me to fill. our church teaches that we should glean all the good we can from other religions. so i'm always looking for ways to enchance my own christian living with ohter peoples traditions. that said. i'm glad i'm not catholic. while i didn't see anything wrong with celebrating those all those saints birthday's etc, it got to be a little overwhelming for me. i think i'll stick with christmas thanksgiving easter, and maybe pioneer day.
