The Liturgical Year
The Ancient Practices Series
By Joan Chittister, Phyllis Tickle
Published by Thomas Nelson
I spent some time reading this book. I usually read through a book of this size within a few hours. The Liturgical Year was mind provoking. Not all churches of Christian faith have this liturgical line up of celebrations and such. With the exception of the Catholic Church, in my years of exploring different faiths, none have practiced this liturgical year especially to the extent talked about in this book. Maybe we all should.

I didn't grow up in a liturgical denomination. My denomination doesn't have much use for the liturgy. So I'm mostly unfamiliar with the liturgical cycle. I don't know the appropriate colors for Lent. I don't know my feast days from my fast days; the only St. day I'm familiar with is St. Patrick's day and Ordinary Time sounds, to me, so very ... ordinary. So reading The Liturgical Year: the Spiraling Adventure of the Spiritual Life by Joan Chittister has been a venture into unfamiliar territory.
Let me give an example.
Christmas - for me - has always come at the end of the year. And this makes a sort of obvious sense. The holiday comes toward the end of the last month of the civic and solar calendar. But for centuries the Christian Church has celebrated Advent and Christmas as the beginning of the year.
Similarly, Sunday has always been a part of the week's end. We'd go to church on Sundays -at the end of a long weary week - to "recharge our spiritual batteries," as it were. But, like Advent, Sundays are the beginning of the week. Sunday (the little Easter) shouldn't the drooping and dragging end of a week but the joyful celebration of a new beginning. I've got things all together backwards.
The liturgical calendar might seem like an arbitrary arrangement of feasts and celebrations, but it has been deliberately designed and over the centuries carefully refined as a subtle teacher, teaching by pattern and repetition the foundational truths of the Christian faith. Like Mr. Miyagi teaching Daniel karate with endlessly repeated tasks, the liturgical year - when purposefully and intelligently followed - can give strength and skills to our faith.
the purpose of the liturgical year is to bring to life in us and around us, little by little, one layer of insight after another until we grow to full stature in the spiritual life. (pg. 21)
Though most of the book has prompted me to further reading and to a deeper exploration of the lliturgical cycle, Chapter 32 on Marian Feasts was largely wasted on me. The Roman Catholic devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus, isn't something I'll be incorporating into the way I put the lliturgical year into practice.

A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Thomas Nelson Publishers for review purposes.The Liturgical Year is one of the titles in the Ancient Practices Series. It gives a detailed overview of what the Churchs liturgical year is, how it works, and why it matters. Each observance of the year (beginning with Advent in December and going through November) plays an important role in explaining Gods purposes and plan for His people. Chittister did a thorough job of conveying the significance of each event.I was not familiar at all with the liturgical year before reading this book. I had only a vague understanding of its existence, but no frame of reference as to how I could benefit from not only the knowledge of the liturgical year, but also the observance of it. I hope to implement this new knowledge with my own family, and will definitely use The Liturgical Year for reference and guidance.

The Liturgical Year The Liturgical Year, is a delightful book that talks to those who are yearning for a sense of orthodox Christianity, by looking back to the way things had been done in the past. This book is written, quite well, from Roman Catholic liturgy, and speaks well to people of any denomination. I found it to be a great tool in setting up a personal calendar around the Christian year. It gives a sense of belonging and deep insight to the tradition our faith flows from. The general message of this book is that any person can center their live around the Christian year, and find meaning in doing do. The author states that, The liturgical year is an adventure in bringing the Christian life to fullness, the heart to alert, the soul to focus. In a world that is filled with business and stress, it is good at times to have something you can turn to and center your attention upon the Lord. For people, like myself, who have a hard time getting in to routines, this is a good source for finding a meaningful and purposeful routine to worship God, and center our lives upon him.

Thomas Nelson has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. The author of this book seems to be very passionate about the liturgical year. It is plain to see that from the beginning of the book. This book was however, a very hard book to read. I was initially interested in the book because of the sub-title, "The Ancient Practices"... I thought it would be more Scriptural based, where it seems to follow more doctrines of man, rather than Scripture. It seems it would be very appealing to someone who has prior knowledge and is interested in being encouraged to keep the liturgical year.

The Liturgical Year by Joan Chittister.As a complete neophyte, I read with interest Miss Chittister's explanation of the various events leading up to Christmas and Easter as well as the Ordinary Times.As one who has never attended a liturgical type of church I have had much curiosity about what the liturgy of a church was all about.I think some of us who attend less formal, non-denominational churches sometimes feel that informality brings us closer to God. In some ways this may be true, but I thinksomething can certainly be said for the liturgical way of following God.It is all so new and seems so complex to an outsider that I think I will have to read the book more than once to grasp it all.I was surprised to learn how down-to-earth and scripture centered many of these liturgical events are and, to my way of thinking, they help to draw us back toward God and the real meaning of Christmas and Easter. As she explains, "The liturgical year, then, is a panoply, an array of events designed to shape us into being what we say we are-followers of Jesus, disciples of Christ, the Christian community. It is a yearlong sojourn through the life of Christ to that ultimate point of self-giving, to that last breath of teaching, to that total surrender to the will of God, to that glorious new life that comes when we put this one at its service."I was inspired to read more on the subject.I wrote this review as a Book Review Blogger for Thomas Nelson Publishers.

The Liturgical Year by Sister Joan Chillister is a stretching, challenging and insightful book to read. Written from the perspective of a Benedictine Roman Catholic background, Sr. Joan Chillister provides a spiritual richness and depth in her writing as you might read from Henri Nouwens works. The purpose of the book is to present the reader with the liturgy seasons and festivals, from Sunday to Advent and Lent and commemorations of the saints and ordinary times, with the intent of the reader growing deeper with Christ through the celebrations that occur in a year. A believers focus on Christ and walk with Him and worship of Him every week and month can be renewed through acknowledgment, understanding and participation in the liturgical year. Depending on your spiritual background and upbringing, much of this book may be foreign to your current style of worship; Sr. Chillister provides extensive history and context background for the liturgy seasons and festivals, explaining how and when these events came about, and gives insights into practical ways to observe and incorporate the liturgy into all of life. Again, depending on your spiritual background and upbringing, you may not agree with every aspect of Sr. Chillisters theology, but it is her heart as the author to enrich the worship and glory given to Christ through the liturgical year. This is a worthy book that will broaden a persons vision and worship of Christ.I am a member of Thomas Nelsons Book Review Blogger program.

The Liturgical Year by Joan Chittister is part of the Ancient Practices Series published by Thomas Nelson. I looked forward to reading this book because of my interest in spiritual formation and my interest in learning more about the church calendar. I am Protestant and the author is speaking from a Roman Catholic background. And that may be why I had a hard time connecting with her work. This book is about the observance of the church year which does not coincide with the civil year. She attempts to show us the importance of observing the church calendar and how it can shape our spiritual lives.As I read the book, I found myself attentive to the facts about particular aspects of the calendar, but struggled at the parts where she tried to connect it with our spiritual growth. Granted, we are far apart in the denominational spectrum, but I never felt like I was a part of her audience. I suspect that those whose denominations follow the calendar will benefit from her words. But for those of us looking for an introduction probably would do better to look elsewhere.Thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishing for providing a free review copy.

In The Liturgical Year, Joan Chittister explores the liturgy of the Catholic and more orthodox faiths. She begins by explaining what the liturgical year is and that it's purpose "is to bring to life in us and around us, little by little, one layer of insight after another until we grow to full stature in the spiritual life." She then moves into more specifics, like advent (the beginning of the liturgical year), and Christmas, and Lent, then Easter followed by the Saints days and Marian feasts. Not only does she describe the symbolism of each, but also what the spiritual implication is to the believer who observes them.I picked up this book from a purely educational standpoint. I am not a Catholic and their practices have always seemed mysterious to me. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I greatly appreciated the emphasis on Christ's redemptive work on the cross that is weaved throughout the yearly observances. The chapters dealing with advent and Christmas helped me appreciate even more the Christmas season and the "coming" of Jesus. I did find the chapters on the Saint days and Marian observances a little at odds with my protestant beliefs, yet they were historically enlightening. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to walk closer with Jesus on a daily basis or for anyone trying to understand what their Catholic friends are doing.

I would suggest this book for those who already have a working grasp of liturgical practices. To be honest, this isn't my church tradition and this book really, on the whole, didn't help.The author's passion for liturgy was palpable, but it seemed to outweigh her ability to really make it sensible to the uninitiated. Again, it was easy to 'feel' the author's passion for the topic, but her pronouncements, repetitiveness, and regretfully absent initial overview left me, the reader, often stranded chapter after chapter. That being said, there were several chapters that left me spell-bound and challenged - particularly chapter 24 on Holy Saturday - the Loss That Is Gain. I could only have wished this clarity had been represented in each chapter. In sum, I would recommend this book to fans of the author - those already familiar with her style of writing, and to those already familiar with the liturgical year.

I was eagerly anticipating this book, the second from Thomas Nelson Publishers for Book Review by bloggers. I have a thirst for knowledge about the church and the liturgical year because I grew up in a baptist church and only recently began incorporating practices from the churches calendar into my life. I was somewhat disappointed with this book however.It is written by Joan Chittister who is a nun, a member of the Benedictine sisters of Erie, Pennsylvania. She is also a lecturer and has authored many award winning books. I found this book to be very textbook like and didn't find many practical ways to put into practice the liturgy she writes about. I think that was what my heart was seeking.Advent will be here very soon. I relish the idea of waiting for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Chittister said " The real power of the liturgical year is its spiritual capacity to touch and plumb the depths of the human experience, to stir the human heart." I think the advent season is where this begins. The beauty of advent is that it is a season of JOY.Most of us celebrate Christmas, without giving any thought to the church calendar or how it fits into it. I have been studying the names of God so I found this quote on page 83 to be especially meaningful " He is Wisdom, Adonnai, Flower of Jesse's Stem, Key of David, Radiant Dawn, God of All the Earth, Emmanuel-God with Us."One chapter that I did learn from was Chapter 16- Asceticism. The vestments at church are not something I am familiar with. This was interesting. The idea of Lent and how you can grow spiritually is very intriguing and challenging.This is a very easy & quick read. I wish it were a little more informative. But it has whetted my spiritual appetite to seek out more info, I guess that is a good thing.

I had a pretty hard time reading the book, though i did struggle through it. Chittister gave a lot of info on the practices, but i would have preferred a more in depth look into the why aspect of liturgical practices. I never did figure out who the audiance of the book would be until reading though some of the reviews and seeing catholic in there. (though i did suspect either catholic/anglican/lutheran). The book doesn't flow as nicely as i would have liked, and has more of a textbook sense to it. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but for those looking to know the liturgical practice and already have experience with the hows, this is probably a great book for them!

I was intrigued by the description on the back cover, "The liturgical year is an adventure in bringing the Christian life to fullness, the heart to alert, the soul to focus. It does not concern itself with the questions of how to make a living. It concerns itself with the questions of how to make a life." I thought this book was going to lead me into a process of how to apply the liturgical year to my spiritual life and make my connection to God more vibrant and alive. Instead, I discovered within the 217 pages a textbook filled with historical analysis of the liturgical year along with the whys and whens but never the how. The book was written by a nun and is very catholic in tone. At times, it seems you would need to have a basic knowledge of catholic traditions and terms to be able to understand some of the ideas she is trying to get across.I found this book very dry and hard to read. There was very little I could take away from it. I wish I could say something good about this book, but there really isn't a whole lot more I can add.
