Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass Appeal: The ABCs of Worship walks you through the Mass from beginning to end, explaining precisely what is happening and - more importantly - why. The book explains all the things - candles, incense, vestments, statues, chalices, and so forth - you see at Mass, explaining what they are, why they're there, and what they mean. You'll see - perhaps for the first time - precisely how all the pieces of the Mass fit together to create a single, coherent whole. And you'll appreciate the Mass more than you do now. Use this booklet to improve your own understanding of the Mass, to get more out of the Mass, and to assist in your apologetics and evangelization efforts. Or give it to someone who is encountering the Mass for the first time and is having trouble absorbing all that is going on. It's also perfect for RCIA and CCD classes and parish pamphlet racks.
