His book offers a flexible weekly format, so that the devotions can be read in any order.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Infuse your days with meaning. You are part of a larger Story. And the One who began the Story is at work today, in your life, in the midst of your meetings and bills and family activities that make the days rush by and blur together. In these pages Bobby Gross opens to you--and opens you to--the liturgical year, helping you <em>inhabit</em> God's Story every day.</p><ul> <li>Remembering God's work, Christ's death and resurrection, and the Spirit's coming will change you, drawing you into deeper intimacy with God and pointing your attention to the work of the Father, Son and Spirit right now, in and around you.</li> <li>You'll be reminded daily that your life is bigger than just you, that you are part of God's huge plan that started before time and will continue into eternity.</li> </ul><p>Whether you're familiar or unfamiliar with following the liturgical year, this book makes it easy to do, offering here the significance and history of each season, ideas for living out God's Story in your own life, and devotions that follow the church calendar for each day of the year. The power that overshadowed Mary and raised Jesus from the dead also guarantees the final redemption of all things in him; that same power is at work in us now, Gross writes. Keeping liturgical time, making it sacred, opens us further to this power as, year after year, we rehearse the Story of God--<em>remembering</em> with gratitude, <em>anticipating</em> with hope--and over time live more deeply the Story of our lives.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A solid contribution on the liturgical year for ecclesial or worship-group resources.</p>--Graham, Library Journal, January 2010<br><br><p>Gross's book comes with no expectation of familiarity with the concept of liturgical time, and he offers helpful background for readers who are newcomes to a church year calendar.
