Living the Christian Year: Time to Inhabit the Story of God : an Introduxction and Devotional Guide<\/a>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=jescre-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0830835202\")
\n<\/strong><\/em>. This book could be of use to thousands of Christians who want to enter into the Liturgical Year with more than a bag full of ideas but not knowing how to make use of them. This book not only gives the ideas, but provides a weekly devotional to introduce how<\/i> one can enter the Liturgical Year.<\/p>\nThe practice of liturgical prayers has grown dramatically in the last few years, and you might be surprised by some of the low-church types, leaders in fact, who are now using liturgical prayers on a daily basis. But this book by Gross is about more than that:<\/p>\n

Gross examines the Church Seasons and provides both a brief study of the themes of that part of the Church Year and devotional exercises for each week. You can enter into this book any week fo the year (it is the 12th Sunday after Pentecost today).
