Reviews

[Marc Bentley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clear, concise guide to planning. and preparing matrimonial liturgies in the Catholic Church. I don't always agree with Fr. Turner's thoughts and opinions, but he is excellent at illustrating how these liturgies can be lived out in parochial reality, not simply the ideal.
