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.

In Wishful Thinking, the first book in his much-loved lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner puts the language of God, the universe, and the human spirit under his wry linguistic microscope. In his often ironic and always keen-sighted reflections on such terms as agnostic, envy, love, and sin, he invited us to look at theses everyday words in new and enlightening ways. Freshly revised and expanded for this edition, Wishful Thinking is a "beguiling" [Time] adventure in language for the restless believer, the doubter, and all who love words.
