Review

Each of these stimulating, yet realistic, books has excited me again about the tremendous practical and pastoral potential of the Common Worship services and prayers. (Mark Earey)

Communion is the central act of the Church´s worship, yet every church has its own way of celebrating it. Mark Beach´s book takes Order One in Common Worship and applies it to real parish situations. Both realistic and inspiring, here is wise advice which will enrich the worship of any church which takes it to heart. (Jeremy Fletcher)
