Meeting Mystery: Liturgy, Worship, Sacraments

THEOLOGY IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

by Nathan D. Mitchell

Nathan Mitchell's book is both an introduction to liturgy, worship, and sacraments for beginners and an adventure that guides the reader to the place where God's surprising self is revealed and the human soul is moved to awe and love. This book invites us to excavate depths concealed by ever-busier, ever-shallower, uni-dimensional lives. To recover those depths is to learn that worship can surprise and lead us to the divine depths of creation.

[Johnny Mettlach]

To go deeper into love with God and the mystery that entails, both intimate and embodied due to Xmas, there is no greater book I've read that speaks mightily to that and the vital parts liturgy and one's body, neighbors, the 'anawim'/poor and Creation play in worship of the one so Other yet so deeply intimate. Not for those who want a tame Aslan who we think will fit our culturally-bound theological boxes.
