If Your Mind Wanders at Mass

Summary: An indepth review of the Catholic Mass
Review: Some people might take offense at the title of the book, and on the basis of that alone, not pick it up and read it. "Why, I always pay attention at Mass, I don't need this book." might be a common reply to the question asked by the title of this book, and they'd be fully justified in that answer, however this book can still help them out, and even come to a DEEPER appreciation of the Mass. Dr. Howard's book doesn't intend on giving suggestions on how we can "bide our time" during a boring church service, rather, Dr. Howard explains the meaning behind each part of the Mass and tells us why it is done, and why it has always been done this way. This book is meant as a resource, to give us a deeper appreciation of the Mass, allowing us to connect more deeply with each phase of the mass on a spiritual level. For those who are not Catholic, and are not familiar with the Mass, this book will serve as a valuable resouce for them, explaining why things are done and what to expect if the non-Catholic should ever attend a Mass. For Catholics, they will come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of why the Mass is the pinnacle of Christian worship, and why it should be treated as such. I highly recommend this book for everyone.
