A 'MUST HAVE' GUIDE 5.00 out of 5

By:	RB (GAYLORD, MI, August 19, 2009)
Pros:	Easy To Read; Deserves Multiple Readings; Informative;
Best Uses:	Reference; INSTRUCTIONAL;
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Reader;
Bottom Line:	Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. If you read the Liturgy of the Hour, this is very educational reading. The Liturgy itself expects you to know and follow the text with no guidelines so this book takes you by the hand and leads you thru the maze. I am very pleased with this primer. RB
