Reviews

[Elise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book on how to be more focused during the Divine Liturgy. I used this for a teen class, but it offers much to adults as well. Boredom is everywhere in our society. We need constant change and entertainment to feel ok. The point of this book is that once we order our life around feelings, we lose the battle. How do we change this—read the book.

It’s short but packed with practical advice. Useful for anyone who finds their mind drifting during services.

I was interested from the title. The book is very well written and made me think and evaluate my behavior in church. I highly recommend.
