The Holy eucharist: Rites I & II (User's Guide to the Book of Common Prayer)
This book is very well written and easy to understand. It helps one get a much better understanding of the symbology and history of the Eucharistic Rites and the Book of Common Prayer.

The Vestry Handbook: Revised Edition1 review
Christopher L. Webber
Morehouse Publishing, 2000
Practical advice for vestry members
Very practical advice on the roles and responsibilities of vestry and clergy members of the Episcopal Church. An excellent, real-world supplement to the legalese of the church canons and constitution.
This book is of value to all vestry members but it is especially helpful to new members as they sort out their roles.

A User's Guide to the Book of Common Prayer: Morning And Evening Prayer (User's Guide to the Book of Common ...3 reviews
Christopher L. Webber
Morehouse Publishing, 2005
Be at peace with morning prayer
As a newcomer to leading Morning Prayer I found this book invaluable in developing the understanding and confidence that I needed. During Lent I purchased multiple copies of this for my parish so that others would also feel empowered to lead morning or evening prayer. Fr. Webber concisely frames Morning Prayer in its historical context and provides valuable insights though the use of running ...

Celebrating the Saints: Devotional Readings for Saints' Days 1 review
Christopher L. Webber
Morehouse Publishing, 2001
A good supplement to daily devotionals
As a non-liturgical evangelical Christian, I have missed the heritage of honoring those earlier generations of Christians who provide examples of piety, perseverance and sacrifice from which our generation could learn. Webber compiles writings by and about those earlier Christians who are honored by Episcopalians throughout the year, from the earliest martyrs, such as Stephen, James, the brother ...

Welcome to Sunday: An Introduction to Worship in the Episcopal Church4 reviews
Christopher L. Webber
Morehouse Publishing, 2002
Great Introduction to Sunday
This book serves as a short introduction to the Episcopal Church's Sunday service. As a newcomer to the church, this book helped me understand "what was happening" during Sunday Eucharist (communion). The author writes with sensitivity and openness. I'd also recommend "Welcome to the Episcopal Church" (same author) as an excellent more general introduction to the church's history, beliefs, and ...

Caroline Conklin
Morehouse Publishing, 2000
A wonderful tool for ministry
Our Altar Guild meetings are about the most boring business meetings ever. We all love the quiet ministry of Altar Guild, but need some guidance on spiritual fellowship. This little book provides a series of meditations - a short verse from scripture, prayer book, or hymnal followed by a personal story of the author's. After reading this together, a member may feel called to share his or her ...

Meditations for Lay Eucharistic Ministers (Faithful Servant Series) (Faithful Servant Series)3 reviews
Beth Maynard
Morehouse Publishing, 1999
Should be required reading for all new LEMS
I can't say enough about this delightful and insightful little book. I laughed when I read about the authors experiences during her service as a LEM, those things we hope will NEVER happen to us. I was deeply touched by her sensitivity and love for this awesome ministry, mirroring my feelings exactly. I plan to order this for all my friends who do this as well.

This book, 'Give Us Grace' could be considered a natural companion to these volumes. It is an anthology of prayers in the Anglican ...

Planning Your Marriage Service1 review
Christopher L. Webber, Margaret Webber
Morehouse Publishing, 1992
Easy How-to
This book made planning our wedding ceremony a piece of cake. The suggested readings were easy to copy for friends to read from for our ceremony and the checklist style was great. We wanted a traditional ceremony, but wanted to add some personalization to it and this book spelled out the traditional ceremony very well, so we could find the places we wanted to adjust and present to our priest ...

A User's Guide to The Book Of Common Prayer: Baptism And Confirmation
Christopher L. Webber
Morehouse Publishing, 2006
Baptism and Confirmation - the Christian rites of initiation - have to do with identity, community, and eternal life. They're not just ceremonies marking church membership - the meaning of these sacraments is far more radical than that. They're ways of saying that we know who we are: We're made in God's image and called to belong to God forever. This guide will help readers - newcomers, seekers, parents preparing to present their children for ...

A New Metrical Psalter1 review
Christopher L. Webber
Church Publishing, 1986
Singable Psalms
For over ten years I have shared these settings of the Psalms with Christians and Jews in worship services. Webber's wording is creative and current. His choice of metrical patterns makes these psalms usable with literally hundreds of tunes familiar to all who worship with these ancient Hebrew poems. I could wish Webber had versified the entire Psalter, though he has included most ...

A Book of Vigils1 review
Church Publishing, 2003
Being vigilant
I first came across Christopher Webber as author of other books, such as 'Welcome to Sunday' and 'Welcome to the Episcopal Church', books that are very clear and basic explanations of their topics for newcomers to the church, and others who want brief but useful introductions. This book on vigils is similar in that regard -- it is clear, brief and useful.
What is a vigil?
Knowing that many ...
