"""Samuel Torvend asked a question that I’ve been mulling over since I heard it in 2009: ‘How do we live in the world the things that we rehearse in worship?’ Little Books on Liturgy is 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."" * 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, Celebrating Liturgical Time * ""Samuel Torvend offers a primer on the essentials of worship that takes the reader more deeply into the liturgical and theological purpose of the Sunday gathering. This book is an accessible introduction for those who want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of worship in the Episcopal Church."" * The Rev. Dr. Paul Fromberg, author, The Art of Disruption *"
